My wife Beth as well as I went on holiday not too long after we had a quality security system installed with hi-def cameras monitoring everything.
This was mainly in case of a break-in, but we were also able to watch what our pet was up to.
Of course we had friends as well as family to drop by the home to take our pet for a walk as well as to make sure everything was wonderful in the house, but something wasn’t exactly perfect. I was alarmed when I tested the smart app on my phone for the smart thermostat and saw the temperature control settings were set to 85 on the oil furnace! Fortunately, I was able to reset the thermostat back to 76 which is correctly what we love in the Wintertide season. When I looked closely at the video playback for the security system, I found that our pet had leaped up to grab the thermostat in his mouth. It’s a portable thermostat that works with the strange zones of our ductless mini split unit, so it can entirely be moved. I just never thought the pet would be able to reach it. It stays in a holder somewhat love a cordless phone, but it needs to stay in a particular section for the thermostat to work the most respectfully. Well, our pet started chewing on the thing as well as cranked up the gas and oil furnace unknowingly, but from the time stamp on the video, I saw that he was suffering in the high heat for the whole night as well as I wished I would have observed the problem a whole lot sooner. Of course, our pet is a trooper as well as he was doing just fine. The people I was with and I even asked our buddies to deliver him another treat before we came back home. The people I was with and I ended up getting to get a replacement thermostat for that 1 zone, so we weren’t mad at our pet.
