  • ·Some can learn your schedule and adjust heating and cooling settings to maximize comfort and energy savings.

  • They can allow residents to view and control thermostat settings remotely, via smartphone apps on mobile devices. 

  • Some include geofencing, which can adjust heating and cooling settings when you’re on your way home, for example.

  • ·Some retail electric providers offer incentives to customers in exchange for allowing the companies to control thermostat settings during peak demand periods.
