There are endless #Celsius v #Fahrenheit debates, when the truth is there is obviously only one right answer to that question.
What I *really* wanna know is who the hell uses the #Thermostat scale.

Wenn man manche Leute so reden hört, würden die sich eher an einem #Genozid beteiligen, als auch nur den #Thermostat an ihrer Heizung für den #Klimaschutz auszutauschen. Eklig aber wahr. (d s)

It's getting hot in northern California: my tie matches the Excessive Heat Warning, and I finally switched my A/C on today! I'll have your 7-day weather forecast at 4, 5, 6, 10 & 11pm!

Dafür funktioniert das #Thermostat für meine elektrische Fußbodenheizung wenigstens auf Anhieb: #Meross #MTS200 inkl. supereinfacher Einbindung in #HomeKit. Die App von Meross erlaubt diverse Einstellungen. Sie ist zwar nicht gerade hübsch, aber funktionell. Pro Tag kann ein Heizplan eingestellt werden, allerdings nur recht fummelig.Egal. Einmal eingestellt, steuere ich das Thermostat eh nur noch über die #HomeApp. #SmartHome

@Suiseiseki If you use a current phone, a #thermostat, or really almost any #iot smart device over the course of a day, you are using a Linux kernel. (Apple is similar, but uses a BSD kernel.). Even #Microsoft used #cblmariner

I analyzed my #ecobee #thermostat's "Smart" Recovery feature and… it's all over the map.
• It finishes anywhere from 8 minutes early to a whopping 30 minutes late into the peak energy rate.
• It overshoots 53% of the days, which is much less than I thought. It should always err on the side of finishing early.
• There's a 5 or more minute delta 57% of the time.

This is pretty awful after two years of learning.

I'm no stats expert so it's hard for me to draw conclusions other than I'm not happy.

I think I was just witness to a miracle. My #ecobee #thermostat actually managed to preheat the house before the peak electricity rates kicked in at 17:00. It always seemed to overshoot by 10 to 15 minutes into the peak rate. It's supposed to adapt to the heating rate of the home, but never seemed to. My old Honeywell thermostat was very good at calculating how soon it needed to preheat.

I have all the data from the ecobee API. I just need to analyze it to see how close it usually gets.

Why is my gas company admonishing me via snail-mail? Fooking weird! This is still 'Merica - damn it! I see the bill.
You can't shame me.
I keep my winter #thermostat at 75F

ecobee has released a UI refresh for their iOS app. It doesn't address some silly inefficiencies, but it does work better.

However, they haven't fixed the main issue I have with the thermostat in that it's supposed to save me money. It has a "smart" recovery option where it's supposed to learn to preheat the house to avoid the high energy rate times. While my Honeywell was good at this, ecobee fails every day by overshooting at least 10 minutes into the peak rate.

https://dannysengineportal.com/electronic-map-controlled-thermostats-provide-several-benefits/
So, how do (MAP) controlled thermostats, actually work. And, what benefits do they provide.
Firstly, (MAP) controlled thermostats are controlled by, the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU).
Consequently, this provides precise regulation of engines temperature, based on the needs and actual engine’s loads.
As a result, (MAP) controlled thermostats, provide broader and faster operation, than the traditional engine thermostat.

I am young to rage-buy a new thermostat. I effing hate the Nest google one installed with it new AC unit. It's garbage. Does anyone here use a Honeywell? Leaning towards that one. #ac #smart assholes #thermostat

https://dannysengineportal.com/thermostat-problems-will-affect-your-engines-performance/
Almost all engine thermostat problems, will have some effect, on your car’s performance.
The thermostats purpose, is to keep the engine at its, proper operating temperature.
So, the engine thermostat, is just a simple valve. It opens and closes, in relation to your engine’s coolant temperature.

An informal poll - at what temperature do you typically keep your home thermostat during the coldest months in your region?

Mine is usually at 66 degrees F (just under 19 C according to the converter I used).

Users of #Google #Nest #thermostat -- what has your experience been like?

I was just told by Google support that the Nest degrades over time, and they insinuated that it won't last much longer than three years. This is exactly my experience: Dead shortly after the warranty is up.

$250 for a product that lasts 36 months means the Nest is really a $7/month subscription. Not worth it in my opinion! #GoogleHardwareSucks #PlannedObsolescence
