I have a Hot Spring brand hot tub in a second (weekend) home that's about 2 hours away. I would like to be able to control the temperature remotely, so I can start it heating up when I'm on my way to the weekend house.
Any suggestions for how to handle this without totally hacking apart the tub? The temperature is currently controlled with temp up/temp down buttons on a keypad on the tub. It has no remote capability built in.
Edit: It looks like Hot Spring does offer a remote monitoring solution, but I assume it is either (1) only sold with new tubs (mine is a couple years old) or is (2) ridiculously expensive. See http://www.hotspring.com/hot-tub-accessories/connextion
