The weather can change fast in the Dayton area, but with a smartphone HVAC app that lets you control your heating and cooling from anywhere, you’ll always come home to comfortable temperatures.
Maintain Your Ideal Environment
The most basic way a smartphone HVAC app gives you control is by helping you monitor the environment in your home from wherever you are. An app can alert you if the temperature and humidity fall outside the parameters you’ve set, which is a major benefit if you have pets. You can then use the app to turn your AC or furnace on or off or adjust the temperature as needed. Some apps also let you control the fan setting and choose between operating modes your HVAC system offers. Other apps go beyond this by letting you set intelligent triggers that keep your home comfortable with no input from you. For example, you can set the app to turn your AC on when the indoor temperature rises above 80 degrees, then turn it off once the temperature hits 72 degrees.
Make Changes on the Fly with Smartphone HVAC
With an HVAC app, you can adjust your preset schedule to meet changing needs. If you head home early from work one day, you can turn on your system before you leave the office. That’s especially helpful if you or your family members have unpredictable schedules. If you forget to switch to vacation mode before you leave for a trip, you can use the app to do it from the airport. Apps with geofencing capabilities can be set to turn your system off when you’re a certain distance from home, then turn it back on when you’re on your way home again. Apps that monitor the weather can warn you about unusual conditions, such as an incoming storm, so you can adjust your HVAC settings accordingly.
Many apps offer charts and graphs to help you understand your use habits and spot ways to save energy.
