There’s a lot of talk around the net of a new generation of home appliances; refrigerators that write your grocery lists and order your food for you, ovens that can be controlled remotely, and most interestingly – thermostats for your home that can be controlled through the internet or a phone line. Why would you want to control your home thermostat from afar? Here are 7 reasons why:
- The outside temperature’s pushing -5°F and you’re looking at a late night at the office – using an internet thermostat and a few keystrokes you won’t be heating an empty house.
- You’ve left for vacation and forgotten to turn off the thermostat – a quick phone call or connection to the internet and you’re saved!
- You’ve decided to extend your vacation for an extra week and your thermostat is set to return to normal operation right before you get home.
- You own a retail store or warehouse and you want to keep your staff or mischievous customers from changing the temperature.
- You leave your pets at home during the day. With an internet thermostat you can monitor and adjust the temperature to keep them cozy.
- Imagine setting your PC at work to automatically turn off your thermostat when you log in – and then turn it back on at the end of the day when you log off so no matter how long you work, your home will accommodate your schedule. How convenient would that be
