When I decided to upgrade our old temp control unit, I had spent quite a bit of time doing the research on weird makes and models, once I saw the price tags on the smart temperature controls, I wanted to be quite sure I selected wisely.
- If I was going to spend many hundred dollars, I was bound and determined to take the most out of our investment.
All of the smart temperature controls allow total access through a digital app on the cellphone, tablet or laptop. It allows a homeowner to make adjustments to home temperatures from virtually somewhere. I can be curled up in bed, away on getaway or stuck at the office and be able to turn the temperature up or down honestly easily! Plus, the temperature control can send alerts if there is a power outage or an extreme temperature swing. It will provide all needed reminders when it’s time to schedule professional maintenance or change the air filters. One of the best extra features that really interested me was geofencing, but the temperature control sets a geofence perimeter around your property. It knows when a family member’s smartphone crosses that perimeter. It keeps track of when all of us are at home or away and adjusts the temperature control accordingly. It conserves electricity when the house is unoccupied and adjusts at the perfect time to welcome us back to our ideal temperature. I liked the idea of the temperature control handling everything automatically. I also wanted to get an attractive looking temperature control with a nice big touchscreen. I chose the model that lights up as I approach to prevent fumbling around in the dark. It provides both indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity levels.
