How are smart thermostats different from standard models?

Even though smart thermostats provide an array of unique features, they are comparable in a couple of ways to the versions we have always used. For example, they are hardwired directly to your heating and cooling system. You can also manually raise and lower the temperature by engaging with the unit connected to your wall. But that’s about where the similarities finish.

Los Angeles smart thermostats link to your home’s wireless internet

The critical connection to your wireless network is the main way to differentiate smart thermostats from standard models. Having your HVAC equipment paired to the internet gives you access and control like you’ve previously never had. Essentially, you may adjust your comfort settings from wherever you are. Did you not remember to turn down the settings when leaving on a family excursion? No problem. Just access the convenient Vivint app on your mobile device and quickly change it. There are various other actions you can take with the app, such as:

• Switch between heating and cooling
• Set your system to a specific mode such as home, vacation, or sleep

Modify comfort levels by simply saying a command

Your wireless connection gives you another amazing advantage as you may pair your device to an Amazon or Google smart speaker. If you would like to keep comfortable on a chilly winter’s evening and you don’t feel like leaving your toasty spot on the sofa, just say a command like ”Hey Google, set the temperature to 73 degrees”.
