I recently switched from a manual temperature control to a WIFI model, & the difference has been amazing, then i was a little sad by the price of the smart temperature control; The options that include internet connectivity cost multiple hundred dollars… However, the energy savings has quickly reclaimed the investment.
- I no longer need to remember to adjust the temperature setting when our family leaves the home for the day or heads to bed at night, however for the first month after the temperature control was installed, it kept track of the adjustments both of us made.
It l acquired our schedule & preferences & built a program accordingly; Now, the temperature control automatically minimizes demands on the oil furnace & a/c & yet provides for perfect comfort. I rarely need to adjust the setting. However, if our schedule should change, it’s easy to make variations through an app on our smartphone, then plus, I get reminders when it’s time to update the air filter or schedule annual maintenance. I gain alerts if there’s a problem with the heating or cooling equipment, & the temperature control contacts our official Heating & A/C dealer, very often, these problems can be resolved through remote diagnosis, saving me the cost of a maintenance call. I also keep track of our energy USge & take fortune of energy saving tips. I enjoy that the temperature control provides a weather forecast, indoor humidity levels & automatically lights up when I enter the room. I was worried that I’d have some trouble figuring out how to operate the current temperature control, but the touchscreen is severely user-friendly. It guides me through the steps for programming & making variations.
