[Md-sligo] free talking thermostat

[sharon Kim]

Yes, that's true, but that assumes, that everyone has an echo or 
an echo dot, in order to work their smart thermostat, or other 
smart devices. That, and Lloyd's comment about needing someone to 
install it, and the compatability issues, still applies.

Good Morning Lloyd and everyone, there are also thermostats on 
the market
now that are called Smart Thermostats and are operated in 
conjunction with
your Echo devices.

Good morning. I am wearing my engineer hat at the moment. I'm 
sure this is a
good unit, although you might explain why you don't need it any 
longer. Some
of these thermostats have limitations as to what they can be 
connected to.
Although the thermostat is free, you will probably need to pay 
someone to
install it, or find out that it isn't compatible with your 
heating/air
conditioning equipment. Some research needs to be done.
I only know of two companies that made talking thermostats. One 
is
talkingthermostats.com in Minneapolis. They have a good 
reputation of
helpfulness. The other devices were the Kelvin thermostats from 
Independent
Living Aids. We have one of these in our house and it is handy, 
although it
needs a new set of batteries every few months and has 
occasionally locked
up. We paid to have it installed by the company that maintains 
our
heating/air conditioning system. It is no longer made, I think.
Ask questions.  I'm sure this unit can find a good home.
