Putting in a smart thermostat
I have been slowly modernizing our house, every room gets an substitute & color change.
The previous owner certainly was a fan of rustic & cottage feeling.
I ripped down wallpaper with chicken on it & plaid curtains. I removed the seasoned brown carpets & added gray tile. I then painted over the beige & did a light red instead. All the wood is painted white. All the plastic is changed to nickel. I am most proud of our hallway. The hallway went from brown rug to gray tile. The walls went from wood paneling to white. The ceiling changed from snacks to smooth. I then added recessed lighting & new switch plates. The plastic thermostat was the last to go & the best a single to change. The thermostat used a toggle in order to change the temperature. It could only go in the range of 10. So it was either 60, 78 & 78 degrees. My hubby bumped it with her shoulder constantly. The two of us now have a smart thermostat. The Wi-Fi thermostat has a silver surround & red innerface. It has a touchscreen & lights up when I walk by it. It visually is beautiful. It functions unbelievable too. It has a yearly program that it learns & automatically does. I get alerted to air filter fluctuations, issues with humidity & energy saving tips. It is entirely nice that I can control it from our cellphone. I use that feature all the time. It is unquestionably nice to control the heat from our bed or when I am at the office.
