When I chose to replace the old control unit, I spent quite a bit of time researching peculiar makes plus models, and once I saw the high price tags on the new smart control units, I wanted to make sure that I chose the best one.
- If I was going to spend many hundred dollars, I was determined to get the most out of our cash investment.
All of these new smart control units allow full access through the custom app on the PC, tablet or computer. It allows a homeowner to make adjustments to temperature from virtually anywhere that has wifi. I can be curled up in bed, away on trip or stuck at task plus be able to adjust the temperature up or down legitimately easily. Plus, the control unit will send you alerts if there is a power outage or an drastic temperature fluctuation. It will supply you with reminders when it’s time to schedule professional service or change the air filters. One of the neat extra features that absolutely interested me was geofencing! The control unit creates a geofencing perimeter around the property. It knows when a family member’s smartphone crosses this perimeter. It keeps track of whether the people I was with and I are at a beach apartment or away plus adjusts the control unit accordingly. It conserves energy when the beach apartment is unoccupied plus adjusts at the perfect time to welcome us back to the ideal temperature setting. I liked the plan of the control unit handling everything automatically. I also wanted to buy the most attractive looking control unit with a nice big touchscreen. I chose 1 that lights up as I approach it, to prevent fumbling around in the dark. It provides info on the indoor plus outdoor temperature as well as humidity levels.
