Question with 10 notes

Anonymous asked:

Do you not know where your thermostat is or do you not know how thermostats work? Or have you just been having really messed-up self-conceptions of your actual physical states and now you're blaming it on "fucking magnets - how do they work?"

First off fuck you too buddy, second off I have a plug-in controller on the wall, but it’s on an interior wall in the (front) room

from which I can notice these swings so I took it the temperature wasn’t being measured there but rather just as some of the ports it hooks into

output signals by wire to the furnace in the basement, some of them receive input of current temperature levels from ???

  2. fatsexybitch said: Also jfc anon, where was OP even talking about magnets? Your trolls are getting lazier
  3. fatsexybitch said: Last time I had this problem replacing the batteries in the thermostat fixed it. If it still has power when you pull it off the wall it has a battery somewhere in the case. If not may need a new one. Also drafts can come from int walls if they link up to attic or basement.

  5. sabakos said: oh if you have the model number the manual is probably online as a pdf
  6. kontextmaschine said: @fatsexybitch @sabakos that’s an interior wall, I basically just removed some drywall between wall studs to see what the light would look like for a cutout between the front room and kitchen that already communicate through a doorway just out of view. There was no manual when I moved in but given everything else I’m def. open to the possibility it was installed “handyman”-style in a way that’s not really how anyone who really knew what they were doing would
  7. sabakos said: temperature sensors are usually janky enough that you don’t want that traveling very far - it’s probably in the thermostat but if all else fails there’s always rtfm
  8. sabakos said: is that an incandescent lightbulb in that lamp? with the hole in the wall and the lamp you very well could have fluctuating temperatures there…
  9. fatsexybitch said: Have you tried covering the giant hole in the wall?
