Most probably have knowledge of this, but i don't really read much about it. I bought a WION wifi enabled 15amp switch (outdoor). 50 dollars Canadian (Cdn Tire). I can turn my block heater on wherever i am with my phone. I actually have blockheater hooked up for my skid steer and forklift so that i can choose which machine to use for plowing now depending on snow load (luxury will be over after this spring when i believe new owner will finally pick up the big machine).

Anyway, WION was not fun to setup...as i didn't read instructions (duh). But it works fantastic and i'm happy to be able to turn on the heater before i drive to the lake...and have my machine ready to go!

cheers,
Hayes
