I am not the brightest dude when it comes to technology! Growing up, I was the only child I knew who sucked at video games (something that has not changed over the years, by the way)! When smartphones started becoming popular, I was still using a flip phone, just because it was a lot easier for me.
I guess I’m just not a tech savvy person for whatever reason.
Recently though I found a cool piece of tech that I genuinely enjoy, it’s a smart thermostat, which I affixed to our central Heating and Air Conditioning system. In the short time I’ve had it, it has proven to be legitimately, awesome and easy to use. I only ever used the digital readout type of thermostat before, which to me was a marvel of technology all its own. I remember as a child having the thermostat that was a plastic level on the side that you manually adjusted. This smart thermostat is next level, though, plus makes the digital readout seem pretty primitive in comparison. This thermostat not only sets the indoor temperature controls, but it continuously checks on the air quality. Not only that, but it learns as it goes, so if I leave the house for an extended period of time, the thermostat will automatically adjust itself so it doesn’t run the whole time. It monitors its own batteries plus air filters, plus gives me an email message when anything needs to be replaced. It also runs self diagnostics, so it can alert me when I need to schedule a Heating and Air Conditioning repair appointment, but before too long, this thermostat will know me so well I will never have to adjust it again!
