I run a home HVAC thermostat with custom code that has no other hardware fallback.

Once, due to a logic error on my part the heater was triggered in the middle of the summer while I was out of town. The internal temp got up to well over 100°F.

I was able to have a friend come over and disconnect things for me, but I could have killed a pet, at the least, if not some more sensitive hardware.
