The key usecases for me are:
Adjusting the thermostat (which is downstairs) from bed.
At the airport - oh shit did I turn off the AC for the two weeks we'll be away? Ok I just did.
- slipnslider 1y agoSame. My Nest has probably paid for itself in terms of me being able to remotely disable it while away on trips
- dogcow 1y agoLuckily, this can all be achieved using a Wi-Fi or (even better) a Z-Wave thermostat that is 100% locally-controlled using something like Home Assistant or any number of other solutions.
- xyzelement 1y agoThe guy I replied to was asking why you'd want an Internet connected thermostat. I am a HA guy and prior to my ecobee I ran an American Radio Thermostat with local HA support and you could control over curl. But the wifi module was so old that no modern device connected to it when I had to reset it up. But I agree zwave plus HA are a great option too.
