Now that I have gotten a smart thermostat, I don’t know how I lived without one for so many years.
- I think the thing that I like best is that my smart thermostat tracks where I am in the house and uses my temperature setting to keep that room of the house comfortable for me.
I also like that the smart thermostat learns my patterns and then starts turning up or down the air conditioner or heater at the times that I usually would. It starts cooling down the house before I even start thinking that I want it cooled down. It is kind of eerie, almost like it is reading my mind. The fact that I can adjust the temperature of my home, while not at home, is also very convenient. I set my thermostat to about 80 degrees in the summer and 60 degrees in the winter, when I’m not home. I have the thermostat set to cool, or warm, itself to 70 degrees just before I get home. However, the other day I left work early because I was feeling ill. Just before I left the office, I used my smart phone to change the temperature of my house to 70 degrees and it was nice and comfortable by the time I got home. This would not have been the case if I was not able to adjust the thermostat remotely. Finally, I like that my smart thermostat tells me if my HVAC system needs servicing. It tells me that there might be a problem before the problem actually shows up. This lets me schedule an HVAC technician for a time that is convenient for me rather than dropping everything to fix a huge problem that comes out of the blue.
