  1. No, I do NOT #smegging want a thermostat with #WiFi, or which connects to the #internet in any fashion, or which is controlled by a server run by a contractor-to-the-manufacturer-that-will-close-up-shop-in-three-years or any other #stupid "#smart" features.

    I want a 7-day programmable #thermostat that can handle single-stage #AC and a #modulating #gas #furnace.

    Is that too much to ask? Apparently, yes.

  2. An update to my #Rheem #furnace #motor rant...

    I purchased a #replacement from Rheem. It arrived; I installed it, reconnected everything, turned the power back on, and ... the control board still showed #error 68: "incorrect #signal from #ECM".

    They sent me the #wrong bloody motor, and I stupidly didn't triple-check the part number before installing it.

    The motor itself is identical, just the programming is different.

  3. Like everything these days my #Rheem #HeatPumpHotWaterHeater has a (kinda dodgy) app. They sent me an email touting their new and improved #Econet app.
    Mistake 1- didn't simply update the app via the normal update process. The instructions included "uninstall old app, click this link to get the new one".
    Mistake 2- failed to mention that it was only updated for iOS.
    I noticed a vague reference in the email to the app store after not finding a new version in G Play & links all sent me to Apple.
