- Volundr 7y agoHow else did you expect it to message him? Or let him turn it off remotely? Sure, could put a SIM in it and do an SMS that way, but then you have to pay for service for your thermostat, rather than just using the WIFI you already have.
- jammygit 7y agoCouldn’t it just have a lcd display with a scrolling alert message? Maybe even a red light that turns on to draw attention.
- icebraining 7y ago"I could turn off the unit remotely to prevent stress on the compressor"
- ChristianBundy 7y agoGood point. In my experience an air conditioner is something that you use when you're home, so turning it off remotely doesn't make any sense, but I suppose other people might AC their house while they're gone all day?
- beefalo 7y agoIf you live somwhere that might be >100 degrees, you can't just turn the AC off all day
