Yeah but then it doesn’t have any soap in itLikely benefit is if you forgot to turn it on you can turn it on from far away (i.e. people load up dishes but don't always turn it on).

Agreed I bought this (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Honeywell-...ite-Smart-Thermostat-with-Wi-Fi-Compatibility) mostly because I get low temperature alert for my ski home quiet cheaply. My current home I have a 45 year old oil boiler and for the $100 know it still functions with a nice alert on smartphone.What about when travelling from your own home? It gets to -30F at times here - nice to know the heat is still running when you are away. Frozen pipes ain't cheap (and yes, its happened in my family).
$250 for a thermostat when a Honeywell programmable one can be had for $30.
Yeah but it paid for $5,400 in repairs in my first dealer visit.Didn’t you pay like $3000 for an extended car warranty?

What kind of car is it? My entire car was only 5300 lol. I guess that's why I can splurge and blow my money on foolish things like a "250 dollar" wifi thermostat.Yeah but it paid for $5,400 in repairs in my first dealer visit.View attachment 39353

Nice, I like those. Couldn't you have purchased a Mitsubishi Mirage instead? That would have still got you from point A to point B. You see where I'm going with this....2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0L
Nah, very different. Using a $30 Honeywell thermostat vs a $250 Nest shouldn’t make you miserable. Set it once and forget it even exists.Nice, I like those.

That theory works if you have a set schedule. Does a 30 dollar Honeywell thermostat alert you if you are away from home for several days when theres subzero weather and your furnace quits working?Nah, very different.

Probably came home to a flooded home - 1 in a million chance of a HVAC system dying? LOL. Thats like saying there is a 1 in a million chance a persons car is going to break down on a road trip.What ever did people do before 10 years ago when these thermostats came out? 1 in a million chance that would happen.
Far from a 1 in a million chance, much of the extreme weather here sometimes involves storms which can cause power outages. It's nice to know if I'm away if my house is about to freeze up or if the freezer with 1000 dollars of meat in it loses power. My wifi thermostat helps me determine the conditions at my house to some extent.What ever did people do before 10 years ago when these thermostats came out? 1 in a million chance that would happen.
Ah, so you do agree $250 on a thermostat is absurd when a $60 WiFi Honeywell does the same thing.I personally wouldn't spend 250 dollars on a nest. There are plenty of wifi thermostats that can be had for an affordable price. I'm confused why wifi thermostats make you so angry.
Vacation homes are not all that common. I’m talking about the average Joe who is home everyday.
Fair enough.Yeah but it paid for $5,400 in repairs in my first dealer visit.View attachment 39353
Now that is awesome!Irrigation controller. Probably my favorite...syncs weather with NOAA and taps into local neighbors' weather stations to measure rainfall, temps, sun and wind exposure, etc. and automatically adjusts watering times. I also input grass type, soil type, sprinkler flow rates, etc. for fine-tuning to minimize water waste. This thing probably paid for itself in water bills alone within a few months.
