You should absolutely replace your theromstat with a smart thermostat that can be controlled and monitored with your cellphone.
Thats even more important to do if you also have a home in the snowbelt, where your pipes could break and flood your home if the furance fails, undetected, while you're gone for months.
If a flood happens due to pipes breaking, there will be layers of ice that destroy your foundation and destroy your snowbelt home. When water freezes into ice, it expands in size, and has the power to break the basement walls. It's extremely important to be able to monitor and control your snowbelt home's furnace remotely!
