I have had a smart thermostat going on 3 months now, then and I have to say that I am totally not happy with it… The smart thermostat is too much of a hassle for me plus my lifestyle, so I have decided that I am getting rid of it.
I am going to go back to the basics of either a digital thermostat or a dial thermostat.
These things are easy cut n dry for me, and you do not have to control it on some iPad or cell PC app. You just walk over to it plus turn it on plus your central heating plus air conditioning method will work just fine. The other month I lost my cell PC plus as a result I could not use my central heating plus air conditioning! It was a fantastic thing it happened to be a afternoon where heating or air conditioning was not needed, otherwise I would have been up the creek! Had I had a regular thermostat like a dial thermostat or a digital thermostat nothing like this would have ever happened plus would not have to rely on a PC app or iPad app just to run my central heating plus air conditioning method unit, then lord knows why they even made smart thermostats. The concept is nice plus great, but there are so numerous flaws plus troubles that should be ironed out. If they ever do service these troubles, like making it to where you do not need the cell PC app to control the thermostat plus the central heating plus air conditioning method unit, then maybe I could give it another try.
