I can’t tell you how many times I’ve left my control component on a low temperature after leaving the condo for work in the afternoon.
I’m always halfway to work, and think, “Drat! My cooling system is going to send my electric bill through the roof.” A smart control unit, which can be used to control your Heating and Air Conditioning system’s control component from anywhere, has been on my wishlist for a while.
Whether I’ve forgotten to turn up the control component during the warm months, or turn down the control component during the chilly months, I always seem to self-sabotage my heating and cooling system’s efficiency. If I had a smart control unit, I could solve my forgetfulness problem, and I could tell the Heating and Air Conditioning unit to beginning heating or cooling before I left work for the afternoon, ensuring that I would come condo to a comfortable temperature; My smart control component could also be a good tool used in tandem with my condo security system. I sporadically use my in-condo cameras to check in on my dog while I’m at work during the afternoon. My dog gets frustrated in the heat, and she’s more likely to scratch up the furniture when she’s on-edge. I sporadically see his doing it on-camera when I’m at my desk and think, “If I had a smart control unit, I could turn down the boiler in the winter season or amp up the cooling system in the summer time time to save my dog (and my furniture) from the heat.” I’ve already started making my condo “smarter” with the security system; my Heating and Air Conditioning system needs to be next on the docket for an injection of tech!
