With the smart thermostat I can put it in a mode that denies access to anyone else however me when it comes to increasing the thermostat
I like to know that I approach challenges and problems calmly and in a cohesive manner. This is the same approach that I take whether it’s inside the commercial Heating and A/C of the office or at dwelling with my family. I appreciate to be the sort who looks for typical ground and commons sense when finding solutions. This is always where I start and I make sure that all stakeholders are involved. But just like inside the zone controlled Heating and A/C of the office, I sometimes have to take matters into my own hands at dwelling as well. I always like to try the collective approach with discussion, clear goals and accountability. However, there are times where that approach can be ineffective due to those involved trying to take luck of that approach. So that requires me to do stuff that I hate to do which is unilaterally make decisions to solve the problem. This was actually the case with the way the Heating and A/C component was being used in my home. I have always tried to teach my children that while they are actually fortunate to have the life they have, they are not entitled. But the way they were jerking the thermostat around to accommodate their whims was unacceptable. Of course, I tried the rational approach for months. But over and over again, I was disappointed to see the same behavior was taking place. So finally, I had the Heating and A/C supplier install a smart thermostat. With the smart thermostat I can put it in a mode that denies access to anyone else however me when it comes to increasing the thermostat. Heating and A/C component abuse concern is now solved.
