It appears these folks signed up for some community program and got these t-stats installed Free Of Charge!

LOL - now the utility can shut them off.

Prolly not too hard to swap with a standard t-stat and go back to normal.

“Don’t install a wifi thermostat!”

Our city council in Longmont is salivating over this. They’re ‘going green’. They are controlled by out of state NGOs and ‘activists’. Of course this is my opinion.

Keep an old mercury thermostat switch to swap in - hard lesson learned by a tech friend that installed an app-controlled thermostat...darn near froze when a power outage during a hard freeze took away his ability to control his gas furnace.
