RE: I need an accessible thermostat

2022-10-12 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
I doubt you can do much on the thermostat itself if you can't use the app 
except maybe if you call Aira to help out.
Most of these thermostats have touch screens. Having said this, our Honeywell 
T5 always works unless of course the power goes out, but then of course the 
furnace or in your case AC won't work anyways. Your connection to the 
thermostat would only not work if your internet service wasn't working, 
actually your Wi-Fi typically doesn't go down but of course if there is no 
connection to the outside all you have is a local area network with no 
connection to the outside, kind of like having 3 or 4 of the old cordless 
phones which have intercom function, that would still work if the phone service 
goes down, but it won't do you much good.

You can always ask your HVAC company to also install you a good old $15 
thermostat although I don't know how these work with cooling since where I live 
cooling is not usually something we have to deal with a lot. I still have one 
of these hooked up as a backup so if for some reason our Honeywell really 
wasn't working because the internet was down I could just walk up to the other 
thermostat and push the little lever over until the furnace starts up. Normally 
this manual thermostat which has absolutely no programming functions whatsoever 
is turned all the way down so it does nothing unless we really need it. And if 
the power goes out completely in the middle of the winter then we are OK as 
well because we have a wood stove in the living room which easily heats the 
entire upstairs.

Subject: I need an accessible thermostat

I have to replace my hvac downstairs. I need an accessible thermostat. HVAC 
company recommends the Ecobee. Says they have had less issues with this brand 
over NEST.
So I see Amazon has the 2022 version on their site.
For the Ecobee owners, Can you adjust if the wifi goes down?
Also, is there an auto setting for heat/cool so once the temp reaches a certain 
degree heat or air will automatically come on? Can you turn off the system if 
you want to open windows?

Hi all, on this same subject, I have a swamp cooler, and a heater. Would the model that you have work with just a heater? I hope that made sense.Lelia Sent from my iPhoneOn Oct 12, 2022, at 6:38 AM, Lehmann, Timothy A  wrote:
