Would imagine this requires a cellular data device be "on" and have signal in the coach.  Many RV parks and campgrounds have limited to no wifi, so the latter isn't something you can count on for connectivity.

I looked at that, too. We carry our own wifi/cell system with us, as do many others, so that isn't the issue. I'm not sure that it is worth the cost, at least to us. It is rare for both of us to be gone from the coach overnight, and actually we're both here most of the time. Maybe we're just getting old, but taking off at 0600, spending the day adventuring,  and getting home at 2200 doesn't sound like a lot of fun anymore. When we are gone, there is always a window open a bit so the cat can get outside air on warm days. If shore power goes out, and the heater or a/c quits, well, we're not going to be gone all that long and it won't get that cold inside, and with the window open it won't get that hot in the summer.
