The invention is directed to an ice and snow melting system including at least one sensor for sensing a temperature or moisture associated with an ambient environment, and a heater for melting the ice and snow. An automatic controller is connected to each of the heater and the sensor. The controller selectively controls operation of the heater, and includes a remote control interface which is either integral or connected therewith. A remote control is connected to the remote control interface of the controller via two conductors. The remote control is configured to receive a signal from and transmit a signal to the controller. The received signal is indicative of a status indicator associated with the heater and/or controller, and the transmitted signal is used by the controller for the controlled operation of the heater.
