I am not technologically savvy at all, when our wifey recommended the two of us change our thermostat to a smart one, I figured I was too dumb for it, but I tried making due with our old dial thermostat plus it wasn’t possible either… However, the lake cabin thermostat was a beige box plus plastic toggle, and you could toggle from 60, 82, 78 plus 90.
That was about as exact as you could get with heating plus cooling; my wifey regularly hit the toggle with his shoulder when walking down the hallway, and frequently he would nudge it to 90 degrees plus the cabin would be so hot.
For me I never could read the numbers since I don’t keep our glasses on hand. The thermostat was just genuinely ugly too. I let our amazing wife buy plus install the thermostat because I wanted it to look better. The silver surround plus gray innerface is genuinely pretty. It matches our lake cabin decor plus fits our current theme. I found I prefer the functionality of the thermostat too. I am not too stupid to operate it either. They make this thermostat pretty idiot proof. I can walk by the thermostat plus it lights up to show me the temperature. I can check the outdoor temperature plus the hourly temperatures. I also can control the heating plus cooling from our iPhone; once I actually downloaded the app it was amazing how easy it is to set up a residential heating, ventilation plus A/C program. I also get alerts on air filter swings, humidity levels, air quality troubles plus energy efficient settings. This thermostat is simply amazing.
