When I first learned about smart thermostats from my friend, I was really excited to get one.
- I didn’t want just any cheap one though, I wanted one of the best kind with the touchscreen and advanced features like connecting the smart thermostat to my Alexa device.
I thought it would be so cool to be able to tell Alexa to adjust my temperature control settings and she would say, “I’m on it.” I would never have to go to the actual thermostat, but the touchscreen was really cool regardless. Well, I ended up downloading the smart app on my phone and I was amazed that I could make so many changes. I could program the thermostat or put it on learning mode so it would learn my preferred settings. The smart thermostat even tells me the weather forecast and makes adjustments based on what the weather is like outdoors. I have been enjoying my new thermostat immensely since I installed it. The installation was ridiculously easy and the energy savings are unbelievable. I actually didn’t realize that I would save so much money on my energy bills, but they advertise that fact directly on the box. I really love that Alexa hooks up to my thermostat, I just hope Alexa never mishears me and decides to roast me through the night instead of cranking up the A/C system. I know there are glitches in computer systems naturally and I’m sure that even Alexa messes up from time to time. I guess if that ever happens, I’ll just adjust the temperature control settings manually.
