Smart tips for Smart Thermostats
- Most Z-Wave Smart Thermostats require power via battery or your HVAC system’s 24VAC “C” Wire.
- Set smart daily heating or cooling schedules that you can integrate with other smart home scenes and monitor via your smart hub’s app.
- Stay in control of the temperature in your home and stop your kids from cranking the air or heat after school with preset scenes that can be fixed at certain times.
- Some Thermostats can be connected to external temperature sensors that can be placed in other rooms to ensure a uniform temp throughout each zone.
- If you’re replacing an existing thermostat, check to see if the current setup is different than the new form factor you’re considering – you might have to patch the wall or do a quick coat of paint before you put the new device in.
