In one embodiment the local server 235 may download the local weather report from the Internet or other source of local weather in order to obtain environmental information related to one of the environments (e.g., if one environment is outdoors). This weather will include data for the current dew point, or will include data from which a current dew point can be determined. This dew point number can be used sent to the mobile device 100 network 230. The device temperature as measured by the device can then be used to determine if the dew point has been crossed and this data used to turn on the heater.
As the mobile device 100 operates within the first environment, its location therein is tracked and it is informed with data related to operations of the sensor 211. Location changes corresponding to movement of the mobile device 100 are tracked, including movement between a first position within the first environment, and a subsequent position within the second environment (and/or vice versa). As the mobile device 100 operates within the second environment, its location therein is tracked and it is informed with data related to operations of the sensor 212. Example embodiments may be implemented in which the informing of the mobile device 100 in relation to the sensors is provided with data signals communicated over the network 230 from the monitoring/control computer 235, or from the sensors themselves.
