What Is a Smart Home Thermostat?

Have you seen smart thermostats at the home appliance store, or maybe you’ve heard your friends and family talking about them as well, but you’re not exactly sure what they are? We can help. Smart WiFi thermostats let you set the temperature to change based on whether you are home or away. This lets you keep the temperature a little cooler when you’re away, and then lets it return to the ideal level when you’re home. You can also change the setting when you’re at work or on vacation from an app on your mobile device.

Common Thermostat Issues

You might experience some issues with your smart thermostat during the installation process and while using it. Some common problems you might encounter with your smart thermostat can include:

A server outage or software issue: Your device may go offline suddenly if there is a server outage or a bug in the software system. During this outage, you are unable to adjust the temperature settings remotely.

Your older HVAC system doesn’t have a C wire: The C wire is dedicated to charging your smart thermostat and is required to enable the device to work without stealing power from your heating or cooling system. Older HVAC units might not have this wire, which can cause your system to malfunction as the thermostat steals power from the unit. To resolve this, have a professional install a C wire so the thermostat and HVAC system can function properly.

Dead battery: If the device doesn’t get enough power from the HVAC system, it can cause its battery to go dead. The battery can also malfunction if a software update fails. Have a professional inspect the wiring to ensure the device is getting enough power.
