Want the ultimate in home comfort control? Smart technology has allowed manufacturers to create a programmable thermostat that helps you easily manage home temperatures, along with offering a few other perks, while allowing you remote access to its controls.
Programming
With a smart programmable thermostat, you can schedule four daily settings to correspond to your comings and goings. To match the device’s compatibility with your scheduling needs, look for these options:
- For one set schedule every day of the week, choose 1-week programming.
- If you have a different schedule on the weekends, choose 5-2 programming, which allows you to select one program for Mondays through Fridays, and one program for weekends.
- For more convenience on the weekends, select a 5-1-1 device for two separate weekend schedules.
- For the most flexibility, you can select a 7-day model, which allows you to set a different schedule every day of the week.
Features
Once you select your programming options, you can look for a device with smart technology, which generally offer the following features:
- Remote alerts – If your system malfunctions for any reason, you’ll receive a call or text, letting you know that your system has overheated or that there was a power failure, for instance.
- 365-day scheduling – Some models will allow you to schedule a different program for every day of the year, convenient if you need to adjust the settings for a weekend away.
- Locking – If you need to lock out access to the thermostat so that other home occupants can’t adjust the temperature, you’ll want this feature.
- Add-on features – Some manufactures offer features such as remote access to the water supply in your home, or even to the garage door.
