Technology ConnectionsI don't normally like being Mr. Grumpy old man, but it is currently 68° (20°C) and just about perfect outside, yet I hear a bunch of air conditioners running.
Consider opening yer dang windows, people!
The thing is, I know what's going on, here. Sure, some people want to keep their windows shut for allergy reasons, but it got pretty hot a few days ago so people switched their thermostats to cooling mode and simply stopped thinking about the weather.
It got to about 73° in here from insolation before I opened up windows, so some ACs would definitely be kicking on by now if people did the ol' set and forget
And THEN. Then there's those people who live such decadent lives as to put their thermostat in "auto" mode
This Midwesterner finds that lifestyle so foreign
Cliff@TechConnectify Programmable thermostat with auto mode...
Below 65? Turn on heat.
Above 75? Turn on A/C.
Nighttime? let it get down to 60 or up to 80.
Simple.
