I got in trouble for playing with the smart control unit settings when I was younger

They said to never play around with the temperature control settings, plus I would have to pay for any spikes in the utility bills from playing with the control unit in such a way.

I remember a long time ago when my parents purchased a up-to-date smart control unit, I was actually fascinated by the technology; I thought it was cool that the people I was with and I were able to adjust the temperature control settings particularly by using the smart app on the smartphones. I remember 1 afternoon, my friends plus I were hanging out in my room plus the people I was with and I were completely bored, and every one of us ended up getting my mom’s cellphone plus playing around with the temperature control settings. I was showing them how it worked plus my buddies plus I cranked up the heating plus then made it actually cold with the settings, then when my parents got back home, they could tell there was something going on with the temperature control system, but they discovered that the people I was with and I were messing around with the temperature control settings with my mom’s cellphone plus I got into some dire trouble, all my buddies had to leave plus I was grounded for a whole month. They said to never play around with the temperature control settings, plus I would have to pay for any spikes in the utility bills from playing with the control unit in such a way. There was a little bit of an energy use spike, however it wasn’t all that much. I suppose the main problem was myself and others possibly causing the temperature control system to chop down. Luckily, everything was alright, however I did learn my lesson after being grounded. I knew that major appliances love Heating plus Air Conditioning systems were not to be messed with because they were truly extravagant to fix.
