You’ve probably wondered at times how you ever did without your smart phone. That’s what many homeowners are also thinking these days when it comes to their Wi-Fi thermostats. These ingenious devices just vastly simplify what used to be one of the major worries of leaving home for extended periods: what to do about the temperature while you’re away?
If you haven’t yet upgraded to a Wi-Fi thermostat, maybe it’s time. Here’s a rundown on some of the major reasons homeowners are losing the digital and programmable models of yesterday and switching to a Wi-Fi thermostat.

- Change the temperature, no matter where you are.
Whether you forgot to lower the thermostat for Fido in your primary home before you set off for your beach getaway, you can do it from afar with a Wi-Fi thermostat. Just open the app you will have downloaded on your smart device to operate the thermostat, make your adjustment and voila!, it’s done. You can also monitor local weather conditions at home or at your vacation destination to see how you need to change the thermostat throughout your vacation.
