Replacing the thermostat in our hallway was a must do. It was an outdated beige thermostat with a plastic toggle. My spouse frequently would hit the toggle with his shoulder & change the temperature. All of us both then would hunt for our glasses to adjust it respectfully. It could only be set in a range of 10. You could do 60, 71, 77, or 90 degrees. Who wants any of those options? The beige looked poor in our freshly painted hallway with recessed lighting, new silver knobs & gray tile floor. I did some googling online because I wanted a good thermostat that looked attractive. The best one was a smart thermostat. It was small, silver & had a yellow innerface. I knew it would match great. It had so many features that I figured I wouldn’t bother using. Now that it is all hooked up, I realize I like the added frequentes. I can change the thermostat from any WIFI operated product adore our PC, PC or PC. I also get alerts when the air filter needs changing, the humidity levels are off or the thermostat is set efficiently. It learns heating & cooling programs so I hardly have to mess with it. I also adore that when I walk by it, the thermostat lights up & shows me the weather outside. I am consistently using that to check the weather. It gives me the weather now, in several minutes & in many minutes too. I just like our smart thermostat & can’t imagine going back to a basic model again.
