Besides being able to access it from anywhere, the thermostat can be programmed with reminders to change the Heating, Ventilation & A/C filters plus to schedule the service
After 4 years, I finally decided to replace my cell cellphone. And technically, it wasn’t an replace because the only reason why I bought a new cellphone was because my aged cellphone broke. If the screen wasn’t cracked, I entirely would’ve still had the cellphone because everything else worked perfectly fine. I am not a technically savvy person, so having the latest devices doesn’t entice me. I use my cellphone to take pictures, to send texts, plus to make cellphone calls, then outside of that, I barely have apps that I use on the cellphone, I have never seen a need for them. My friend Lisa is regularly making fun of me because she has all the newest gadgets that you can recognize of in her home. In fact, her lake house is fully automated, plus everything can be accessed using her Smartphone or a tablet. Her recent gadget was a Smart thermostat. Initially, she had a programmable 1, but due to its limitations, she decided to replace to a thermostat that she can access from anywhere in the world. If used correctly, both thermostats can save up to 10% on your energy bill, but the Smart thermostat has a lot more functionality. Besides being able to access it from anywhere, the thermostat can be programmed with reminders to change the Heating, Ventilation & A/C filters plus to schedule the service. In addition, the thermostat can be pre-programmed with holiday dates so that it will regularly adjust accordingly. While I don’t think that I need a Smart thermostat, I can see the benefits in investing in 1.
