- I think it was doing awesome in the winter because I never really set a schedule before - oblique Jul 5, 07:36 11
  - how does it know you're away? -- nm - amanda Jul 5, 07:48 2
    - It has motion sensors -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:50 1
      - that's kind of creepy. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 08:08
  - I'm finding that in this heat letting the house warm up while you're out is a losing battle. The house just can't cool fast enough to make it - pmb Jul 5, 07:38 7
    - we're only low-to-mid 90s here, but I considered leaving the AC on low while I was at work today. I mean, I have six months of free electricity. why - amanda Jul 5, 07:50
    - we opened the door long enough to let each dog in the yard - groiny Jul 5, 07:40 4
      - My dog wouldn't go out yesterday. She just looked at me like "F you, man. You go sh!t out there" -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:41 3
        
        get one of those plastic kiddie pools. - groiny Jul 5, 07:42 2
        
        For the dog I'm sitting, I turn on the cold water in the bathtub and he jumps in and just lays in it and chomps at the water from the faucet. - Max Jul 5, 07:45
        
        I don't want to boil my dog either -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:44
    - Agreed. It's a neat feature but really, it doesn't matter because it can't keep up in any regard either way -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:39
