Good List by Pa.........We did part-time for a few years......additional thoughts...........

Mail: We just used the USPS forward mail. If you are down here for a week, jus hold Denver mail and have FL mail forwarded to Denver until you are here longer.

Irrigation: Our system has a rain sensor, so we never purchased a wifi irrigation system. Worked great for years being part-time.

Internet: We went with Spectrum. No contract. If you don't need it while in Denver, they have a "vacation mode" for $6 per month which keep it on for limited connection. Should investigate.

Cameras: Really good idea & cheap. We went with Wyze & not monthly fee.

Weekly house watch......piece of mind.

House shutdown....................be sure to have a list (there are threads on this site) on things to do when you are away for extended times.
