I live in the southeastern region of the country. The winters are usually mild. Some winter days are warm and some are cold. I made my smart thermostat confused today. I am going through a very hard time in my life, so when I get the energy and motivation I try to do yoga at home in my living room. I have sliding doors that open to the garden, and I usually open the doors when I do yoga to let fresh air in. It was cold enough today to trigger my smart thermostat to turn the heat on. I decided to do yoga with the heat on and I did not open the door to let the cold air in at first. I figured that I have done hot yoga in hotter temperatures before, so I would be okay. I was wrong. I started getting overheated because the yoga class I was taking was quite intense. I opened the sliding doors to let cold air in, and this caused my smart thermostat to turn the heat up even higher because there was cold air coming into the house. I did not feel cool enough, so I closed the doors. Then I used my smart home device to tell my smart thermostat to turn the air conditioning on. During this time of trying to get the indoor air temperature just right, I paused my yoga class. The smart thermostat took a little time to cool down my home, but eventually the air conditioning was on even though it was cold outside. I thought to myself that I must have confused my smart thermostat.
