Our power company offered us and I assume other customers a free smart thermostat [200 value]
I course I took it..my son set it all up for us.
It was so hard and confusing to change the settings, kept telling us there was no internet connection when there was one...could not figure out how to change from heat to cool etc....don't judge..lol
I know we are old and not tech savvy but this thing was a PITA
So Mike went to the hardware store, bought a simple on/off heat/cool thermostat for $25 and we are back to normal...lol
