Guilty record – smart thermostat
The wifi-enabled thermostat actually records every single temperature modification that’s ever made, including timestamps.
Sometimes it helps to be ignorant, that’s what I’ve come to understand after 30 years on this planet. I’m all for gathering information and making informed decisions, but I also think that there are times when it’s best to just go with the flow. The air flow, that is. You see, right now our home heating and cooling system is in a period of great turmoil. My man and I have been trying desperately to save money and get in good financial standing for the first time in our lives. We’re cutting costs at every corner, and keeping an eye on all of our regular expenses to make sure we’re optimizing our spending every chance possible. That’s why we went ahead and invested in a smart thermostat for the house last month. We knew that the central heating and cooling system was not being operated the most efficient way possible, and we wanted to pinpoint our areas of weakness in the area of indoor air temperature control. I thought that it was a great idea to have a digital ventilation mediator… but I didn’t realize how poorly it was going to reflect on me. It turns out that our new smart thermostat does more than to monitor our daily habits and optimize the operation of the central heating and cooling machinery over time. The wifi-enabled thermostat actually records every single temperature modification that’s ever made, including timestamps. Here I thought we were going to learn some enlightening information about our home air temperature control equipment usage, and all we’ve really determined so far is that I have a bad thermostat habit. There’s no way to erase the data, and my boyfriend is up my butt about changing the indoor temperature. Now I’m constantly in hot water.
