I don't understand this story. How does using more energy save energy?

The people responding about TOS act like they read all TOS. When the moral thing is to not bury this bullshit deep in there.

not sure why people think it's a good idea to have some of the most key parts of their home connected to the internet. like.... it's not that hard to physically go to the tstat and change it. and you can always get a programmable tstat that doesn't connect to anything....

Old. Vegas did this years ago - but they told people up front about it, and they get a rebate at the end of the year.

well, more than shitty internet devices, this time we are dealing with shitty consumers who accept anything without reading (or worse, since they WERE PAID to have this option that they now so much hate)...

Shocking to me they’re whining about the thermostat being raised to 78°. Mine never gets lower than that. Guess Texans are just more delicate than Arizonans.

I don't understand, how is increasing the temperature, making the thermostat use more energy, supposed to be good for the power grid when it's under high load? That's what like half of the people here say.

And this is the reason why I don't want my thermostat, my fridge, my lights, my locks, my... anything of importance(!) connected to the internet. Thanks for the heads-up.

Put an orange sticker over the product explaining this so nobody can claim they didn't know & problem is solved. Journalists should have responded, "Imagine if the power company COULDN'T do this, system overloaded, you & all your neighbors went dark for a few hours. That better?"
