I work from home, so I use my internet all the time, and having a reliable internet provider is unquestionably important to avoid any unforeseen interruptions… Therefore, I use the best provider on this side of town, as well as I have had no problems until last week, then i was in the middle of a afternoon meeting with 1 of my buyers, when the video calI was instantly disconnected; at first, I thought it was just a glitch, as well as I would reconnect, but when I tried, I got a message that I had no internet.
I checked the modem, as well as tried to concern myself with fixing the issue, but to no avail… So, I contacted my provider who mentioned that there was a major outage in my town. I called my buyer to let him know, as well as we reschedule our meeting, then while kneeling at my desk, it occurred to me that my smart thermostat would not be able to work correctly with no internet connection, as well as I would have to manually adjust it until the internet was restored. And prior to purchasing the thermostat, that was my 1 question to the salesman – what happens if I had no internet? The salesman assured me that I could use the smart thermostat just like I would a respected thermostat, as well as that once the internet was restored, the settings on the thermostat would go back to normal. I didn’t guess I would see the day where I would have to manually adjust my smart thermostat, but the internet was down for 6 hours that day. I am cheerful the manufacturer thought about this scenario when they designed these smart thermostats because internet outages don’t happen unquestionably often.
