Does anyone have a good solution for Internet/Web accessible
power control for your aircraft sump/cylinder preheat?

My personal preference would be something that offers SSH
access, that I can log in and power on. Web would work too.
It's easy enough to find network power controls that look
to be plenty good, if you spend >$250. There are others
down just over $100, but some that I find have 6A ratings,
and I'd feel more comfortable with something that can
handle a good 10A even though that's far more than the
heater should use.

I do have a PC in the hangar that does security cam
recording and such, so another option would be a USB
controlled or home automation device.

I guess what I'm hoping for is a good solution that
people have used successfully....since I know a few
various ways to do it...and would like to know cost effective
ways if possible.

www.aerothermheaters.com. Uses cell phone rather than web and is expensive
but it's an alternative.

Yeah, I'm lucky in that we have central internet access at
the airport available using the Terminal's access, and
the city is willing to do port mapping for hangar owners
to access things like these switches, so rather than worry
about another cellular bill, we can do web/ssh pretty
easily.

You can use: smarthomeusa.com/ShopByManufacturer/HomeSeer/Item/HOMESEER-V2.0/

This will allow remote access. The 10A should not be a problem, just use a relay.
