Comment on After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat
Assman@sh.itjust.works 6 months agousing it as I described really saves money
Assuming I:
- own a heat pump ❌
- own solar panels ❌
- own a smart water heater of some kind? ❌
- live somewhere that the temp changes enough that any of this matters ❌
“No you idiot, you just have to spends thousands of dollars on equipment and then you can save $100 a year”
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? Good for you that you’re saving money, but I’m just giving a personal anecdote here, not writing a thesis on home energy management.

You don’t need solar panels. Could also just be dynamic energy pricing. Also do not need a water heater. Thermal mass could just be heating the place at a certain time. Don’t get the bit about temp changes, maybe you mean you never heat or cool your place?
