@Sonbol : Nah, I figured you were in an ice rink with temps like that!
 
I cut the sentence off at "remotely." So it sounds like there were little baby thermostats that were raised by parent thermostats but they did that remotely rather than being there to be hands on. 4951

@West-Tex : Big brother much! That is ridiculous! I would never give someone the power to adjust my ac or anything else in my home.
 
We got a smart Tstat when we got the new ac a couple of years ago. We never set it up so we could control it with our phones. I guess we will not. 4951

Along those same kind of lines. Peloton is getting hacked big time! Hubs read a story about a woman using her Peloton and her camera got hacked and some creepy man was making creepy comments.
Sometimes smart devices aren't worth it. We don't have any in our house- well actually we do-3 of my AeroGardens have wifi capability - but I didn't enable it 4951

@TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Same here. When our new downstairs unit got installed they put in a smart thermostat. Tech looked at me like I had two heads when I told him I didn't want him to set it up on wifi nor would I be installing the app. 4951
