I finally pulled the trigger on a smart thermostat

I also have limited control of a TV, hjmick.

a sweet deal is no reason to let the government into your house,,,

It's why I didn't invite them.

Do you have other Google connected devices in your home, or just the Nest thermostat?

I have lights and the hub.

Okay, cool. I just couldn't bring myself to get a Nest, too much Google in the world. I'm leaning towards a Honeywell, Internet connected.

Honeywell is a good brand.

GF and friends who keep me busy.

It’s not uncommon for me to take unplanned trips that can last for days. Forgetting to set the thermostat is why I started thinking about the benefits of being able to remotely control it, hjmick.

Are you one of those paranoid weirdoes we sometimes read about, progressive hunter?

are you one of those sheeple that trusts the government no matter what???

other than being able to change your temps from your phone what good is it???

I like the idea of having better control of the heating and cooling when I'm not home. Does your paranoia prevent you from enjoying that luxury?

I have a programmable one that suits my needs just fine

Besides my heat is radiant floor heating so I don't change the temperature once it's on because it is slow to respond
