Good fortune with the bill – hacked into smart thermostat

Good fortune with the bill – hacked into smart thermostat

Sometimes you need to be careful what side jobs you take on… You start out well-intentioned, trying to make an extra buck, plus wind up getting taken fortune of in some instances, however recently, this happened to me when I answered an ad from Craigslist.

It was a gig where somebody needed a apartment sitter for 2 weeks… At first I was more than cheerful to take over this job from them plus make some extra money.

Somewhere along the line, but, it turned into a bit of a eveningmare. I have been at the apartment for a couple of hours when I noticed that the indoor air temperature was getting pretty hot. I waited around plus turned on a ceiling fan, hoping that I would cool down. I didn’t want to waste any energy or abuse the lavish a/c plus whole-apartment air purifier that was installed in the house, but however, after an hour of dripping with sweat while I sat perfectly still, I got up plus investigated the thermostat, and that’s when I found that the air temperature control had been set at 71 degrees plus there was a passcode on it. I texted the homeowners plus ask them politely if I could please have the passcode to cool down the apartment since I would be staying in there for the next two weeks. They responded that they didn’t want me changing the AC settings, so they were not amenable to providing the thermostat passcode. They said my spend my savings would decrease greatly if I continued to bother them about the indoor air quality… Unluckyly for them, I used to labor for an Heating plus Air Conditioning shop. I simply pop to the thermostat off the wall plus hardwire does the a/c machine so it was powered on, and good fortune with your energy bill, suckers.
