I had to look up CPS energy saver. Never heard of it. I can see where it would sound enticing.
We recently had to replace our thermostat. We got a WiFi enabled model, which allows me to control it with my cell phone. No one else has control of it, at least in theory. I’m sure it will help save money, but on my terms. I adjust the temperature based on many factors. I don’t need some stranger turning up the temperature so the fresh peaches spoil before I have the chance to can them, or the bird that’s in a cage away from the vents gets too cold in the winter because the air around the cage is much cooler than the air around the thermostat. I’d be furious!
My cable company offers a security package, which includes video monitoring. You can’t get just the cameras without letting them monitor the images. Who signs up for that? I want to monitor visitors and intruders. I do not want strangers monitoring me in my own home.
Can you still opt out of the CPS program? Get a Honeywell WiFi enabled thermostat. You can control it with a smartphone app, or from a webpage.
