Our thermostat is connected to the WiFi, so conditions can be monitored and adjustments made from our summer location up north. We didn't have to change anything, but we could have. Our HVAC guy recommended we keep the temperature in summer set for 80F. Our thermostat also has a humidistat which will kick the AC on if it gets above the set level. We set the humidistat for 60%, also on the advice of the HVAC guy. We also left all the doors to rooms open, and all of the fans moving on low. We also had a friend check the property every so often.
I also installed an irrigation controller that could be monitored and controlled by my phone, from up north. Irrigation is pretty simple in summer, because it rains so much you don't have to do much watering. However, still a good idea to have some eyes on it in case it starts to get dry.
