The Comcast/Xfinity seasonal plan I am on still has a low bandwidth wifi available. Charge is ~$30 a month when I am up north. That allows my ecobee, cameras, and Hygrometer to work.
The ecobee can alert to your phone on high/low temp and high/low humidity. It must have wi-fi to work. You can also control the settings from your phone (turn down/up temp). There are many other wi-fi thermostats that can do the same. Sometimes the utility company will give you one for no or low costs.
I also us a wi-fi Hygrometer, it also can alert on high/low temp or humidity to your phone. The reason I use this in addition to Ecobee, is that it shows historical data for a day/week/month/year. The Ecobee will alert you, but you can only see a point in time when you pull it up on the phone. Probably overkill, but I am a geek.
My Hygrometer happens to be:
Govee WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer H5179 - $~30 on Amazon
There are many others, just need to be a wi-fi model.
