Smart thermostat fitted but you don't understand how to use it? I'll explain how it works, set up a simple schedule, and show you the app. Get control of your heating without the confusion.
### The Smart Thermostat Problem
Someone fitted a **smart thermostat**. Said it would save you money and be dead easy to use.
Now you're faced with: - An app you don't understand - Heating coming on at weird times - No idea how to change the schedule - Afraid to touch anything in case you break it - Paying for features you can't use
Most people end up just using it like a normal thermostat and ignoring all the smart features.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Smart thermostats CAN save you 20-30% on heating bills, but only if you actually use the scheduling features. Most people don't because nobody showed them how.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Got multiple zones?** (Upstairs/downstairs separate heating) Setup is more complex but saves more energy. Worth spending time getting schedules right for each zone. **Auto-learning driving you mad?** Turn it off. Manual schedules are more predictable and often work better anyway. Let me know and I'll disable the learning features. **Want geofencing?** (Heating adjusts based on phone location) This can be brilliant or annoying depending on your routine. I can set it up or turn it off - your choice.
Frequently Asked Questions about Smart thermostat help in Honiton
I've got a Nest/Hive but have no idea how to use it - can you help?
Yes - that's exactly what this service is for. Someone fitted a smart thermostat but didn't explain how it works. I'll show you the basics (how to turn heating on/off, adjust temperature), set up a schedule that suits your routine, and explain the app. You'll actually use the features you paid for.
Will you install the thermostat or just help me use it?
This service is for thermostats already installed. If you need installation, that's a different job (needs an electrician or heating engineer). But once it's fitted, I can help you understand and program it.
Can you make it less complicated?
Yes - I turn off confusing features you won't use and set up simple schedules. Most people just want 'warm in morning and evening, cooler during day and night.' I make it do that without overthinking it.
Why is my heating coming on at random times?
Usually because of automatic optimization features or incorrect schedules. Nest learns your patterns (sometimes wrongly). Hive might have multiple schedules overlapping. I'll check what's actually programmed and fix it to do what you want.
Can I control it from my phone when I'm out?
Yes - that's one of the main benefits. Turn heating on before you get home, or off if you forgot. I'll set up the app and show you how remote control works.
