WiFi Thermostat. It Makes Sense In Naples

Why A WiFi Thermostat Is Essential In Naples

If the idea of adjusting the temperature in your home from anywhere using your smartphone or computer sounds appealing, you’ll be happy to know that the technology exists today and it is called a WiFi thermostat.  Imagine turning your AC on or off, up or down, from your iPhone, Droid or laptop. What makes this especially appealing for part time Naples residents is the ability to monitor and control your indoor climate while you are up north for the summer.

Benefits of a WiFi Thermostat

Remote temperature control has been around for a while in the form of specialized thermostats that communicate via a telephone connection.  But for homeowners who have organized their lives around their smartphone, a WiFi thermostat (also called an Internet thermostat) adds remote temperature control to the growing list of things they want to do with their smartphone (or computer).

The key benefits for having a WiFi thermostat are:

1.     Convenience of being able to make heating or cooling adjustments from anywhere

2.     Save energy by remotely changing temperature at home based on changing weather conditions

3.     Call in for the current temperature status in your house

4.     Receive alerts if the inside temperature has dropped (or risen) to a dangerous level

5.     Easy to install and affordable — designed for do-it-yourselfers

6.     Some models are expandable so you also remotely control locks, appliances, lights, security cameras and more

Start With an Internet Connection

In order for your WiFi thermostat to communicate with your smartphone or mobile device 24/7, you will need:   (1) a high-speed Internet connection, and (2) an Internet router that is always “on.” Most homes these days have high-speed Internet, however, many vacation homeowners shut down Internet service when the home is unoccupied, so this is an important consideration if you fall into this group.
