A few years ago, I saw some prototypes of Wi-Fi enabled electrical outlets at the Intel Developer Forum.  The idea was to create a simple web based home automation without having the big Crestron or other system installed in your house.  While that hasn’t hit the market like I thought it would, it does look like they are making WiFi enabled thermostats.

Ecobee has brought one to market for under $400.00 USD.  If you are thinking of replacing your existing thermostat, give this one a look!

Interesting device . However $400 price + $35yr for server connection to is too pricey .

Depends on how you are using it. If it is a vacation home, it could be extremely useful and save you much more in energy cost than the alternative
