I recently finished my basement and installed a smart thermostat to manage the heating more efficiently. The basement is rarely occupied, so keeping the heat off when it’s empty makes a lot of sense. However, my kids often forget to turn off the heat when they leave, leading to unnecessary energy waste. I’ve tried setting up a motion sensor to automatically lower the heat after a period of inactivity, which works well most of the time. But there’s one challenge: when the kids have sleepovers, the heat might shut off in the middle of the night. I want a solution that doesn’t require me to manually override the system every time. One idea is to set up a notification if the heat is still on after 10 PM, but I’m not sure how to implement that. I’m curious if anyone has faced a similar issue or has suggestions on how to automate this without compromising comfort or convenience. It would be great to hear your thoughts or experiences!
