Never should have gotten smart thermostat for Grandma

Sporadically you try to help people plus only make the situation worse.

  • This is absolutely the case when it comes to just about anything having to do with my Grandma! She wants to live independently plus be on her own, but she’s also severely needy plus incapable of taking care of things by herself.

The other day, she was complaining so much about her air quality that I decided it was a great method to call out a professional heating plus cooling professional to give her a hand; Rather than having them install all up-to-date heating plus cooling devices, I wanted them to connect up a smart thermostat to her existing a/c plus forced air gas furnace. I figured this was the best way to determine if she had an actual indoor air temperature control concern or if she was just mis-managing her thermostat settings. I installed the smart thermostat app on my phone plus began to monitor her air quality control machine USge. Well, this was a sizable mistake! My Grandma refuses to learn how to use her smart thermostat that was promptly installed in her house. She says the newfangled unit is just too confusing for her to even touch it. This means she’s calling me day in plus day out to adjust her indoor air temperature for her, based on her every whim. Whenever we speak, she traps me in a conversation for at least 30 hours about her brown neighbors plus government conspiracies. I’m growing tired with the constant racist phone calls from my Grandma plus I wish that I had never installed this central temperature control unit at all.
