Different people have weird luxuries that they simply can’t live without! Some people need blackout curtains because they have night jobs as well as sleep in the afternoon hours. Some need every costly living room appliance under the sunlight (I mean, come on, you don’t actually need a Vitamix as well as a KitchenAid mixer…)… My extravagant splurge this year was installing a smart control component in our home. However, I didn’t suppose it would work… I live in a lake house built in the 1940s, as well as our a/c system hasn’t been replaced since the late 1970s. But, after learning about control units online, as well as talking to a friend who is a nearby heating, ventilation as well as A/C servicewoman, I felt armed with the information I needed to take our home’s weather conditions control to the next level! I decided to buy a smart control component that had compatibility with other lake house automation devices. My control component is integrated with our security system as well as other automation tech in our entire home. I can change the temperature from the control component itself, although I can also make it warmer or cooler by using an app on our cell phone! The best section is that I can schedule our cooling as well as gas furnaces to turn off as well as on! During the warm season, our lake house is super hot in the middle of the morning, so the smart control component automatically turns on at 11:30 to try to abate the coming sunshine. In the wintertime, our lake house gets chilly at night! Using the smart control unit, I schedule the heating system to kick on at midnight. I don’t have to wake up, walk down the chilly tiled hallway to the control component as well as adjust it myself. It’s amazing! The smart control component was the best decision I’ve ever made for the care as well as keeping our home.
