The test will come one day when I want to shut off the heat and open the windows, or worse, put the AC on.
Funny, my kids are a bit Luddite for their generation.
I wouldn't have even known what you were talking about w/ "Nest" except that we happened to be in Home Depot and Lowe's this week buying stuff for the RV, and I saw it there. Otherwise, I've been so out of the loop on the latest in home improvements for the past few years while we've been traveling and living in foreign countries. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

Talk about Luddites, we don't even have Smartphones, only dumb little flip phones to make calls on. I take photos with a digital camera and use my Asus Transformerbook (laptop/tablet hybrid, Windows 8.1) for the internet. I do have the Android tablet as well, but it's an old one (Galaxy Tab 2) and very lightly used. I mainly want to use it for reading e-books and have the Kindle app, but I'm confounded now because the silly Axis 360 app that I am required to use by the library I'm a member of says I already have it registered on six devices (not so, only three; I don't even own six devices), so it won't let me me open a book. (I have submitted a question to them about this but have not received a response yet, hoping Easter weekend has something to do with that....)

SMH...
