  I have had the Tado thermostat for three or four years now. The app works 
with Voiceover to set schedules, alter the temperature etc. The Tado can track 
your movements and turn on or off automatically should nobody be at home. It 
also works with the Amazon Echo well and may well work with Google, but I have 
not tried this.

Hello Mike. I have the Tado thermostat which works well with Voiceover. I 
can set schedules, alter temperatures in the app. It can also be used with 
the Amazon Echo and may be used with Google but I have not tried this. It 
can track your movements and turn on or off if nobody is at home. I have 
had this for three or four years.

Re: Thermostats for the Blind

2021-06-01 Thread Mike B 
Hi Pam,

Thank you very much for your input.  I finally got through to a sales person 
at ADT that was willing to help instead of selling us an upgrade to our
service.

It turns out that we have an extended warranty and if they can't fix the 
current piece of crap they installed before they'll replace it for free, and 
hopefully
with something better.

I want to stay with something that'll work using the ADT Pulse app, so I'm 
going to give them another attempt at the thermostat.  The 1 before was a 
Nest
thermostat and they don't sell the Nest thermostats any more, so we'll see 
what they show up with.

I'm going to keep your suggestion, so I'll have it if ADT installs another 
piece of crap.  Thanks again for your input.


Stay safe & take care.  Mike.

Hi Mike,



We got the Eco-Bee thermostat a few weeks ago and do like it so far.  It can 
be operated via the iPhone or through their website.  We have had a few 
issues with our AC, and like the fact that you can access logs of any 
problems it has detected.



It was a little quirky getting it set up with WiFi at first.  We ended up 
having to enter the WiFi password on the touchpad on the thermostat, and 
used Aira to assist with that.  There may have been another way to do that , 
though.



Good luck,

Pam
