Or by not purchasing third-party cloud-connected IoT products. For every convenience, there is inevitably a compromise.

  The "convenience" here is that the users literally get paid for this remote control option. The company gives them money, so they can prevent excessive energy use in case of emergency… This is not a convenience compromise, it’s "get paid for inconvenience"

    The "inconvenience" here is that their thermostat is "locked". Like I said: for every convenience, there is an inconvenience. It isn't going to please everybody, but where people draw the line as individuals is going to vary as much as preference for food and drink.

      Well yes, but the convenience here isn't having an IoT thermostat, it's the $30 bucks they throw your way for allowing remote control.
