The McGinness family loves to travel!
Adam McGinness’ travel business sometimes requires that he hop on a plane or a take a cruise on short notice….. or change travel plans while on the road.
A programmable thermostat gives him freedom and comfort so he can do that and know that he can manage his home while he’s away from it.
- If he’s left the house in a hurry, and realizes on his way to the Bahamas that his house in Platte City is still at 68 degrees, he can log in and change the temperature.
- He can program it so it’s a different temperature while he sleeps than when he arrives home.
- When it’s an unexpectedly perfect spring in Kansas City with consistent temperatures, he can turn the unit off from his hotel in Rome.
