Hello there,
I have a property located in a very rural area that's only partly occupied, its also rented out for short periods. I live 2 hours drive from the property and the issue I have is that people keep leaving electrical items switched on which of course poses a huge fire risk. It can be days before I'm able to inspect the house.
I'd like to investigate the potential options for remotely isolating the power in the property.
Few things I need to consider:
*The house has Broadband so wifi control systems are an option.
*Don't want to kill the power to all the circuits ( would need to leave wifi and smoke alarms always powered on)
* Don't want to compromise the electrical safety of the house
*Those wifi power plugs are an option for sockets but some cover over the main switches (i'd like guests to easily use all facilities without having to download apps to switch a lamp on!)
I'm sure other people have encountered this issue. I suspect there isn't a simple answer.
I was thinking maybe some wifi controlled contractors? Not sure if you can get such a thing.
All recommendations greatly appreciated.
