I think it was doing awesome in the winter because I never really set a schedule before

Now in the summer it's just running all the time because we don't really have a set "leave the house" schedule when the kids are off but the Auto-Away feature is cool and I think is helping because it will let the house warm up while we're gone. It is very cool though

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
