Joshua shares the difference between communicating and non-communicating thermostats in this video. He explains the difference and how each operates respective to electricity and operation. He also debunks the concern that communicating thermostats "communicate with big brother" in some way. Finally, Joshua makes a prediction on how thermostats may change in the future in a big way compared to today's thermostats and their current technology!

    I am curious how the inverter systems function on Non communication systems, since the thermostat is only sending an on or off signal how is the ECU in the condenser know to vary the speed/flow of the compressor? How does it know without knowing the indoor temp but instead just an on/off signal? I assume on an inverter system communication style is preferred, but they are out there with the non communication type

    Video idea for you: heat pump balance points and what contractors get wrong about them. Some contractors still are installing new heat pumps with heat strips and setting the heat pump to shut down below 25F and only use resistive heating. Thinking is stuck in the 1980s when HPs didn’t work in freezing temperatures, but now most operate fine below 0F, with reduced efficiency but still a COP far above the 1.0 of heat strips. Obviously this spikes the homeowners electric bill. Put a thumbnail with “SABOTAGE?” for views 😆 Are you in Nepean ?

    Guess I’m just old and stuck in my ways.been doing heating and air conditioning for 33 years.i changed out my two air conditioning systems last year and used the good old focus 5000.
    In the past I have done change outs for elderly people and they assisted we keep the there old T87 Honeywell.

    Could you leave your 90+ furnace when temps are below 20F and add a Bosch high-end heat pump in the far north US

    Good video! Just installed a Rheem Econet thermostat

    In other words, communicating thermostats violate the KISS principle. Keep it simple stupid.
