Smart Thermostats are Very Stupid

Smart Thermostats are Very Stupid
Contra their sole purported purpose for existing, smart thermostats have been scientistically proven to INCREASE energy usage:
“Engineering estimates from the California Technical Forum …. predict that smart thermostats will produce substantial reductions in energy consumption,” the report, called “The Human Perils of Scaling Smart Technologies: Evidence from Field Experiments,” said. It was released by authors from Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, University of Southern California and University of Alabama.
They studied the smart thermostat impact on energy consumption using data over an 18-month period including more than 16 million hourly electricity use records and almost 700,000 daily observations of natural gas consumption.
“The most relevant estimates to our experimental sample come from Department of Energy Technical Reference Manuals, which are annual reports produced by energy providers and regulators. These reports primarily rely on engineering simulations and survey data to predict the effects of energy efficiency programs at scale.
“These predictions are then used by energy providers to justify expenditures on energy efficiency programs. Mapping these predictions for Californians, which vary by climate zone and the size of a home, to our experimental samples we find that savings of 1.3% and 4.0% are respectively predicted for overall electricity and natural gas consumption.”
However, those thermostats were found to “fail to deliver the expected energy savings.”
The researchers said, in their nearly 100-page report, those thermostats “actually increase electricity and gas consumption by 2.3% and 4.2%, respectively,” the report found. The report explained the problem was not necessarily one of usability. “In fact, researchers observed, nearly all users with the smart devices programmed them almost immediately, and many did so with energy savings in mind,” the report said.
Instead, the problem was with how often and to what extent users overrode the programming to set heating temperatures higher, or cooling temperatures lower, when they wanted to change it.
And this doesn’t even account for the real detriment to installing a smart thermostat, which is that it provides the service provider the ability to shut off your heat and power in the event Alexa hears you saying something that violates the current Narrative.
First, don’t even consider installing one. Second, if you’ve got one installed, replace it with a traditional dumb thermostat that is fully under your control.

That should work. I'd like you to meetCecilia Munozwho leads our efforts on this if that's ok.

John,Joe Conasonwas kind enough to share your email with me. It was very nice to see you again in Rome. The Newsmax delegation was very appreciative of the hospitality ofAmbassador Hackettand the administration’s delegation. I mentioned to you that I would be happy to help, if there was some shared ground, on the immigration issue. I recently wrote a column supporting Jeb Bush's view on some of this…This coming June 23 I will be in Washington during that week. If you are free at any point I would be glad to visit with you. Otherwise perhaps some other time I work. I get into DC every month.
Thank you.
Best,
