Here in the UK I just installed some similar devices Based around the Hive system. It allows me to control my central heating totally from my iPhone. If I leave the house beyond a radius that I set it alerts me if the heating is on or if the heating is off when I re-enter that zone (anything from a few hundred yards to several miles).
I bought a bunch of other Hive accessories including an electric plug, a motion sensor and a door sensor. The plug allows me to remotely turn on and off any attached appliance manually or on a schedule, and the latter give me peace of mind when I'm out. I can even tell when my wife has returned from work when I am out. Sadly, I don't think the system works with the homekit yet so can't be controlled by Siri but the Hive app is fully accessible. Its marvellous and I'm certainly interested to know what else might be in the pipeline.
