Lessons of The Thermostat: Part Three
Honestly, I never anticipated I'd be writing another thermostat story but lo, look, here I am.
As you may recall, in part one I installed a new whatever thermostat, nothing fancy. Then. Then as you might recall in part two, I found myself with a free Nest.
Me escaping to home with my new free Nest.Free is never free, my friends.
This Nest* and I, we uh, yeah. Let's just say I'm not feelin' it. Especially as a work-at-home person. They're designed for folks who spend the day away from the house. I mean, I guess I shoulda known. Logical.
That and it tends to randomly stop working. And it appears I'm not the only one who's had that issue though any time I query the Nest people, they make me feel like I'm the nuts one, like they'd never heard of it before. "!
So it's spring, right" Spring in Chicago is whackadoodle-doo weather-wise. Who am I kidding, Chicago weather is whackadoodle-doo all the time.
Surprise!, the leading edge of a spate of wow, super hot weather too early in the season, nineties in May, predicted for the next five to six days. Which two days prior, I was running the heat. Yeah, no, I'm not joking.
I come home from a dog park-related meeting and Mike is pouty, "blaaahhh it's hot in here," as I'm cozying up on the couch with a blanket.
"Want me to turn the house fan on, babe""
"Sure."
Pull up the Nest app on my phone, turn on ...
