[quote=Anonymous]I never set up a PO Box with the post office so no mail can go there (there’s no individual delivery).

I leave the temp at 55 in the winter and don’t do anything in the summer.  My place is in the woods and stays relatively cool.  I also have a wifi thermostat so I change the temperature or turn the system on a day before I go.  It’s great if I forget to adjust when I get back.

I do turn the water off every time I leave, even if it’s for a few days.

A few other suggestions to think about.  I have Arlo wifi cameras for security on the outside.  I also have Ring doorbells on the inside to detect motion.  They’ve alerted me to a bat problem I didn’t know I have, as there are sometimes months between visits.

I also have a wifi keypad on the front door- I can lock and unlock remotely or give the code to a friend or a service person.  It’s great if I can’t remember if I locked the door.

I’m not sure about your new place but mine has no grass or yard maintenance since it’s in the woods.  I’d highly recommend that if you can swing it.
