"Pop round and turn the heating on again, will you?"
But you and those who think IoT in the home is a good idea, are missing the uncommunicated message: you dad by asking you to go round is also asking you to check that the house hasn't burnt down, been burgled, the freezer hasn't thawed out, open the windows if the place smells a bit, plus can you make sure there is a pint of fresh milk (so he can have a cup of tea on his return) and a fresh loaf of bread in the cupboard and finally if any of the above has occurred can you sort it out, so that he (and your mum) can walk into their home and encounter no nasty surprises that would ruin their holiday.
