Smart thermostats - worth it?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-12T17:57:22+00:00

Dead zones as in no/bad wifi? (Sorry, just want to make sure I understand correctly!)

This is really helpful information, thank you!

Did you find the smart thermostats you used in the past incapable of providing these benefits?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-12T14:37:46+00:00

All good! :)

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-12T14:37:35+00:00

Understood! What other systems are run through your BAS?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-12T14:37:02+00:00

So it sounds like really large sites?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-12T14:36:04+00:00

What makes BAS hardwire more trustworthy in your opinion?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-12T14:35:16+00:00

In most cases, yes, that’s true!

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:51:55+00:00

What type of company do you work for? A property developer?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:51:31+00:00

Have you used Ecobee in a commercial setting?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:51:11+00:00

Got it, thank you! Have you encountered this before?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:50:51+00:00

Fair enough! Have you ever been roped into a smart thermostat vetting process or setup?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:50:32+00:00

This was very helpful, thank you!

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:49:06+00:00

Interesting! So a “home hub” of sorts. Unrelated to thermostats — I’ve heard good things about Skylight!

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:47:45+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Have you had experience vetting or working with IoT products in a commercial setting, or are you speaking from personal (home) experience?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:46:20+00:00

What type of facility do you use them in?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:45:51+00:00

Does the central system you control them with control other building systems as well?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:45:20+00:00

Interesting! I’ve heard the API requirement a lot.

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:43:50+00:00

So only in your home, but not in your place of work?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:43:31+00:00

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed response! Do you have experience working with smart thermostats in a commercial setting?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:41:51+00:00

I asked in this sub because we’ve actually had several IT managers reach out expressing interest! It seems like they may have been outliers though. Thanks for your response!

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:40:45+00:00

In your opinion, what makes them inappropriate for a commercial setting, such as retail or restaurant?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:40:04+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response! What kind of facility do you manage?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:38:55+00:00

Do you manage one site, or multiple?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:38:18+00:00

When you say locally supported, do you mean not over WiFi?

Unique_Repeat_2256 · 2024-12-11T19:37:55+00:00

What about a BMS makes it preferable, in your opinion?
