I was so annoyed when the remote that I have to my smart thermostat broke the other day.
- I got the remote because I really hate using the app that is on the computer and my cell phone.
These remotes that they sell for smart thermostats are built really cheap. I have only had this remote about 3 months and it already broke. They are not too expensive to buy, it is just a pain in the rear having to go out and buy another one after only 3 months of having this one! Will the next remote break in the same amount of time? I am not sure. But I have to give it a shot because I want to be able to control and program my smart thermostat without having to mess with the cell phone app or my home computer. The only way I would ever want to use the app on the phone is if I am out and want to turn my central heating and air conditioning system on or off. Controlling the central heating and air conditioning system while away is the main benefit of the smart thermostat anyhow. It has saved me a lot of money on my electric bills this way using far less energy. Because the central heating and air conditioning system would have to run all the time when no one was home otherwise. This brillant smart thermostat makes it so that no longer has to happen. I just hope that I can have a quality remote control this time around to control it from home!
