Default How to have a lamp turn on when inside temp drops below sixty.

I'm a snowbird and worry about a furnace failure while I'm away. I've heard
that there is a temperature sensing switch that will turn on a lamp if the
house gets too cold. I'd like to set a lamp in the front window so my
neighbor can check the place as he drives by without coming inside. Does
such a switch exist? Who sells it? Thanks in advance.



be easy enough to make one using an old thermostat, an ice cube relay,
and some basic home electrical type stuff. Or just use a line voltage
thermostat.
