At the insistence of our HVAC provider, my wife and I decided to buy a smart thermostat for our new heating and cooling machine.
My wife and I got a great deal on the smart thermostat.
We read the entire pamphlet which included ways to save energy. My wife and I joined a website online and registered our machine for energy savings. Neither one of us were aware that the online website could change the temperature of our thermostat remotely. My wife and I went to lay down for a nap yesterday afternoon. We woke up around 5 and both of us were sweating. It was 78 degrees inside of the house, even though we had the thermostat set at 72. The temperature on the smart thermostat was 78 degrees, so my wife and I thought there was a glitch in the system. I programmed the thermostat for 72° again and the air conditioner came on. About an hour later, my wife and I noticed that it was getting warmer inside of the house again. The thermostat was once again sitting at 78 degrees. I decided to search online for some answers and I quickly realized why the problem was occurring. Since our region was in the middle of a heat wave, we were told to adjust the indoor temperature to 78 degrees to conserve energy. When my wife and I joined the online program, we gave them permission to remotely change the temperature in our home. We quickly unjoined the service and website after realizing our mistake.
