I grabbed my phone, clicked on the app and found that the temperature had been changed drastically
My eight year old is a little more savvy with technology than I first realized. Me and my husband recently invested in a smart thermostat for our home. What we initially saw as a nifty little gizmo that was ultimately frivolous, upon further research, seemed to be quite the worthy investment. It was nice to know that we had complete control over our HVAC system no matter where we were. We also have the ability to monitor it and to be informed by the smart thermostat when problems arise that require maintenance or other action. Not to mention the fact that we can turn off the heating or the air whenever we forget to when we leave in the morning. Anyway, our eight-year-old took keen notice of the smart thermostat. She did not understand everything about it, but she knew that it could be remotely controlled. She’s proved in the past that she knows her way around my smartphone, so you may see where this is going. Apparently, she snatched it up one day shortly after I got done using it and left the room. Somehow or another she navigated her way to the smart thermostat app and decided that it was a bit too chilly in the house. When me and my husband started to feel the heat, we feared something serious was up with the HVAC unit. I grabbed my phone, clicked on the app and found that the temperature had been changed drastically. My daughter had a guilty look on her face, but I just laughed at her ingenuity. I would have to protect the app behind a password for now on!
