[quote=Anonymous]It's easier now than it used to be since you can automated and access everything remotely. Security cameras, alarm system, lights, thermostats, irrigation system, pool, etc can all be handled remotely. You can get moisture sensors for under your sinks, etc that are linked to your alarm system. We had a pipe break at our second home once when we were away and it was a mess. It would have been worse, but we had a local friend who would look in on our house every now and then and he noticed. Which makes me second the suggestion that you have someone look in on your house regularly, even if you have all the electronics. If you have a regular housekeeper, have them continue to come. Also, have a local handyman at the second home if you don't want to spend your entire summer doing chores and meeting repair people. [/quote]
