Not too long ago, I changed out my old thermostat for an ultra modern unit that automatically controls all heating and cooling functions. You can set the unit to your schedule and even control it from your phone.
Not long after I installed the unit, I started getting monthly email energy usage reports from Honeywell. Nice graphic illustrations on how many hours of heating and cooling I was using.
Recently, I started wondering how Honeywell knew my energy usage. Then it dawned on me that my thermostat was sending them reports over the Wi-Fi connection. I’m not entirely happy with that.
