Take back control of your home heating bills with the latest generation of smart thermostats — devices you can easily control from your iPhone or iPad, even remotely
The possibility of saving some money on your heating bills meant that t smart thermostats were among the first devices to emerge in the home automation market, and with energy prices rising all the time they continue to be a popular purchase.
There is plenty of choice these days, with a variety of different designs available. Most of these new thermostats will simply replace the existing thermostat on your wall, although some do include a separate wireless adaptor that allows you to move the thermostat from room to room. Some use high-tech touchscreen controls, while others opt for more old-fashioned buttons and dials that mimic traditional thermostats.
Yet these design features are often just skin deep, and most smart thermostats concentrate on providing the same core set of features, which are generally controlled by an app on your iPhone, iPad or other mobile devices. The majority of these apps will enable you to program daily and weekly schedules to turn the heating on or off at specific times, or set temperature limits so that your home is always kept at a comfortable temperature.
