How is this playing out in higher-tech homes? Are kids overcoming parental technical aptitudes, or is this scaring kids off from fiddling with all things techy?
(I am dreading the day my kids will want to poke around in Hubitat [or whatever I am running at the time] and mess up my perfectly configured rules.)
- LAC-Tech 4y agoI spent the first 30 or so years of my life living in places without thermostats. The fact that there's a level beyond that blows my mind.
- bombcar 4y agoIf you do it nice you have the thermostat so you can twist or slide it and it goes up or down a degree (enough for the heat or AC to turn on) and then your program kicks in 30 later and resets it to where it was. Win-win.
- artificialLimbs 4y agoDepends on how you back up your threats.
- Kamq 4y ago> and mess up my perfectly configured rules Keep your rules in a repo somewhere, and the kids can't screw them up. You could even have unsigned commits change the temperature in the opposite (or randomized) direction to discourage tampering.
