My husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing
I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/footballfriends1 Originally posted to r/relationship_advice My husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing Trigger Warnings: internalized misogyny and body image issues Original Post: February 27, 2026 Husband and I have been together 15 years and throughout our relationship I have been a conservatively dressed frumpier woman. My clothes look good on me but it's a lot of looser fits, high necklines, sweaters, etc. I am also the mom of a toddler. Recently my husband and I went shopping with my younger sisters, who are in their mid 20s and are skinny and single. They bought stuff that suited their lifestyle. Short skirts, low necks, flashy, etc. It all looked great on them. My husband kept encouraging me to try on that kind of stuff and I politely declined. Later he told me that he would love it if I showed more skin, at least at home if not out and about. We live in the Midwest and I am cold about 9 months of the year, so I am always completely covered and wrapped in a blanket to boot. I laughed this off thinking he was just being silly. But he was very serious. We don't have the greatest sex life, being together so long and having a toddler, but it's not terrible and I do take off my clothes at that time, just not every day. I told him that scandalous clothes simply don't fit my lifestyle, but he keeps insisting I try it. I am a larger woman and the clothes he admires simply would not work for me. I'm wondering if I should just ignore his request or have another talk with him? Compromise somehow? What's the best way forward? *Tl;Dr husband wants middle aged wife to dress more revealing. Wife is uncomfortable* Editor's note: please note that many of OOP's responses were downvoted, but they provide more details Relevant Comments Commenter 1: That's really, really sad. Perhaps you need to reevaluate some things and invest in mental health support. OOP: I like my life. It's just tiring, and being tired makes me feel middle aged. It's not deeper than that. Commenter 2: Of course it’s deeper than that. No 33 year-old describes themselves as middle aged. Your husband sees a problem and is trying to get his young, sexy wife back. OOP: This is the thing. I have always dressed and looked this way. He's never had a "young, sexy wife". he's had a more elegant, casual, conservatively dressed wife. Commenter 3: you called yourself frumpy and always wrapped in a blanket, that’s not elegantly casual. OOP: lol, I guess my work/leaving the house attire is different from home attire. I'm cold! I have to stay warm in the house! It's either blankets, sweat suits, or a very thick robe. Commenter 4: Are you leaving the house often? Is your LO in day care or are you mostly at home taking care of them? OOP: We both work. I have hobbies that involve me leaving the house as well. Commenter 5: Do you and your husband go on date nights where you dress up? You don't need to dress in a way that's antithetical to your style or comfort, but it sounds like he may be expressing some desire for less frumpy middle-aged bundle mode and a bit more wife mode. How would he characterize your sex life? "Not great but not terrible" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement in the first place, but I suspect he might lean more towards terrible than great in his own estimation. Being parents of a toddler is hard, and that's why it's extra important to make sure you're nurturing the relationship as well, not just the parent side of things. That includes intimacy. Sounds like you two need to have an honest talk about your "not great" sex life and how to work on feeling more physically connected. And yeah, that might occasionally mean turning up the thermostat a bit and putting away the sweats. OOP: Dress up dates, not often, but when we go I have nice modest clothing that I wear. Our sex life is not great. His sex drive is lower than mine. I've gotten used to it Commenter 6: I think self-describing yourself as a "conservatively dressed frumpier woman" makes your husband's request sound a lot more reasonable to me. Leave the toddler out of it. You've been together for 15 years and only a had a toddler for maybe three years. That's roughly 12 years of being frumpy. No wonder your sex life suffers. Your husband wants you to be sexier, but you've basically given up. Certainly there is some middle ground between what you consider "scandalous" and "frumpy." There has to be a way that you can show off a little for your husband and still feel comfortable. OOP: I feel that he knows how I dress. It's been consistent for years. Why change now, especially now that I'm running around a toddler and am definitely older. I want to appease him but showing skin isn't practical in the winter, and tight outfits show off the postpartum body in ways I don't like. I don't know how to honor his request and feel comfortable OOP needs to get therapy to deal with her unresolved issues that she has OOP: I have been to therapy and have focused a lot on decentering my looks and the pressure to be sexy. Embracing the things I do like about myself and leaving behind what I don't. Commenter 7: 33 isn’t middle aged! Why not buy some sexy lingerie for his eyes only instead and be proactive about wearing it to bed and initiating? OOP: He doesn't like lingerie, it puts pressure on him and feels like trying too hard. He wants "casually sexy clothing". Commenter 7: Well do you like lingerie? Could that be your compromise? At least a sexy bra or something you could start by wearing under your clothes. Personally I won’t be interested in sex if I don’t feel sexy. I understand you don’t want to wear different clothes but tbh I don’t see the harm in trying something that could potentially help you feel better about yourself or feel more sexy and maybe help your sex life. And if you try it and don’t like then oh well at least you tried. I might be wrong but your post reads as if you don’t have a lot of self-confidence. The sexiest thing a woman can wear is confidence! Also I don’t think anyone would consider 33 Middle Aged that’s just madness. OOP: I don't personally like lingerie. I have a hard to find bra size so my three bras are aggressively practical. I feel pretty good about myself in the clothes I wear! I love clothes and thrive in looser fitting, colorful yet conservative wear.   Update: March 30, 2026 (one month later) Update: my husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing I posted a little while ago about this dilemma. My husband wants me to start showing cleavage and leg while we're around the house. I have always dressed conservatively and now that I have a toddler, this feels even more impractical. So, a few days after posting, I humored him by taking him shopping. I asked him to pick out stuff that he wanted me to wear, and agreed to try them on in the dressing room. He picked out all the expected stuff. Lace camis, deep necklines. Even a few pairs of shorts and one of those ridiculous bloomer things. I tried them all on and then showed him how difficult each one would be. This top while bending to pick up toys. These shorts while changing diapers. How everything rides up and slips and would require constant adjustment. After a while of this, he backed off. Apologized. Agreed he would not ask for any of that again. Unfortunately, it appears he might have developed some kind of Madonna complex. We have not had sex since that day. He does not find my current persona sexually appealing anymore. He's dissatisfied with us having sex with the lights off, even though that's how we've always done it. So we're at a bit of a stalemate now. Is there a way we can reach a compromise that allows me to be comfortable and him to have some level of arousal? Or do we stick to the status quo? Editor's note: OOP made lots of responses, I am listing top common questions and responses Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Why not try to find a special outfit for “occasions”? I saw in your other post you keep saying you’re middle aged at 33… I’m 40 and refuse to use those words. Are you feeling ok? OOP: I am a tired mom. I've felt middle aged for a while. I feel ok but I also take antidepressants and have for many years Commenter 2: How much mental load does your husband take on? OOP: The majority. He's a great parent Commenter 3: You did not “humor” him. That implies giving things a genuine shot in good faith. It seems that your intention was to school him and show why what he wants is wrong, and to make him feel your pain. It seems to me that instead of fixating on sexy clothing as a proxy issue, you two should seek couples counseling with the aim of generally improving your sex life and communication around sex. Is this something each of you is open to? OOP: You're right. I was hurt and acted out of anger. I felt like he was asking for something so impractical and selfish that my feelings were hurt OOP on her physical shape OOP: I am a larger woman with a lot of lumps and bumps, lol. I prefer conservative items that cover my body. Commenter 4: Question - do you like your body? Do you find your body attractive and sexy aside from your husband's desire? Do you see your body as more than what it did - bear a child? Your personal style is one thing, but you seem to describe your body in a negative way and highlight what you perceive as flaws. I think this is especially common for women after pregnancy. If you don't like your body it doesn't really matter what you wear. You'll never feel comfortable because it's not about the clothes, it's about your self-image. I could be wrong, but it seems like the other things are symptoms of a much deeper root. I'd try working on that while talking with your husband. My guess is it never really occurred to him and so his request has triggered a subconscious or unspoken insecurity. OOP: I do not. I have never liked my body. Therapy has helped me see my body as a tool rather than an aesthetic thing. I focus on what it can do rather than what it looks like. I cover what displeases me and focus on what I like. I have always dressed and acted this way, even pre motherhood Commenter 5: Reading this post and then your comments about your own body is making me wonder if this is a you issue instead. You seem to be very adverse to showing off your body. Were you like this before the baby, or has pregnancy ruined your self-image? Either way, recommend some soul searching. Clearly, your husband loves you (even if his attempts to show it are misguided). You need to love you, too. OOP: I have always been this way Commenter 6: I’m curious how he dresses and if it’s appealing to you. Because most of the guys who requested I wear specific items of clothing did not dress to a standard I found appealing. OOP: He wears what he likes. I've never been invested in his looks or clothing OOP on her family OOP We both work outside the home. He is a fantastic parent and partner. Our child is around 18 months.   ----NEW UPDATE---- DISCLAIMER: OOP HAS UPDATED AFTER THE BoRU WAS POSTED SO PER RULES UPDATE IS INCLUDED I (33F) am trying to improve my intimate life with my husband (33M) and am struggling?: April 7, 2026 (one week later) I can't officially update per subreddit rules but I posted here a bit over a week ago about my husband wanting me to wear shorts/tanks/etc around the house and me disliking my body and wanting to cover up as much as possible. Well, my husband saw the posts and we talked about it. I have made inquiries about finding a new therapist and so that is in the works. We planned to try intimacy with a lamp on so he could see me a little. My husband was very loving and encouraging. He agreed to put the request for new wardrobe on hold while I pull myself together. And then stuff got worse. I am a hobbyist writer attempting to get a novel published (I write every day from 4 to 7 AM, it is the thing I love most in life). After two failed novels my agent officially dropped me. Now I don't just feel middle aged. I feel old and dried up and so defeated. All I have ever wanted to do is be a writer and now I'm even further than ever before. It's like, I'm not beautiful or successful or smart but I can write...now I don't even have that. So yeah. At an absolute low point. My question is, how can I take care of my marriage and my family and myself in this state? I feel like I can't lean on him because he's going through his own stuff and I don't really have anyone else to turn to either. I've kind of lost all my friends these past few years, mostly due to jealousy about everyone else's successes. My own fault. It's all my own fault.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Lennox iComfort E30 - Thermostat cannot communicate with the SmartHub
I have two E30 models installed on my first and second floor. I am being told that I can only adjust the temperature for my second floor thermostat from the first floor thermostat, and vice versa. When I go to the settings icon after swiping to go to the other floor's settings, I get that message. Anyone else can confirm if that's how that is setup to function? Doesn't make sense that the SmartHubs don't communicate with each other past the temp settings. submitted by /u/Psyphrenic to r/LennoxHVAC [link] [comments]

electric company offered a free home energy audit and the thing they flagged was not what i expected at all
signed up just thinking theyd tell me to turn lights off and call it a day. guy came out, walked around for maybe 45 mins and the main thing he kept coming back to was the water heater mine was set to 140f which apparently is what they come preset at from the factory. he said most households are totally fine at 120f and the difference in energy use is actually pretty significant because its heating and reheating all day dropped it down that week and my next bill was noticeably lower. not life changing but consistent every month since. also found out my dryer vent had a partial blockage which was making it run longer cycles than it needed to, fixed that myself for basically nothing had some money from Ѕtake set aside for a new smart thermostat thinking that was the move but this whole thing was free and probably made more of a dent than a thermostat wouldve worth checking if your utility offers it, most do and its usually buried on their website. took me maybe 3 minutes to schedule submitted by /u/young_wealth to r/Frugal [link] [comments]

My bf asked for the banana & now I've got the ick + 2 Year Update
I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Effective-Snow-1186 Originally posted to r/TwoHotTakes My bf asked for the banana & now I've got the ick + 2 Year Update Editor's note: added paragraph breaks and made small edits for ease of readability Trigger Warnings: emotional abuse and manipulation, verbal abuse, medical issues, strangulation, domestic violence, attempted murder Original Post: March 9, 2024 My bf asked for the banana and now I've got the ick Me and my bf have been together for almost 3 years. He has three teenage daughters. Every morning before school/work I make breakfast and coffee. I typically make breakfast sandwiches. Usually when they're eating breakfast it's too early for my body to handle eating, so I'll eat later in the morning. The other morning we had an event to go to a hour away, I made breakfast as usual, they ate as usual and I didn’t, but I grabbed water and a banana to take to eat on the way. When I got in the car I put everything on the seat. My bf took the water and banana and put it on the center console. About 20 minutes into the drive I got hungry and took a bite of the banana. He looked at me and said angrily: "You know I would like to eat some of MY banana!" I thought he was joking but soon realized he was serious. I told him that I brought the banana because I haven't eaten breakfast and that I knew I would get hungry. He told me that was his banana and he wanted to eat it. I was in shock because I knew 110% I brought the banana and after I told him I hadn't eaten yet (he had eaten) and told him I was hungry he still wanted the banana. I had only taken one small bite, I gave him the banana. He ate it and didn't think twice about it. I have the ick big time all over a freakin' banana. Relevant / Top Comments Downvoted Commenter: When I got in the car I put everything on the seat. My bf took the water and banana and put it on the center console. I feel like I need an elaboration here, because something doesn't fit? So.. you get in the car and place the water and banana on the seat.. which seat, the one you’re sitting in? Why would you place it in the other seat if you know your bf is about to sit down there? If you placed it on the seat next to you, he reached over and took it off your seat to move it? If you placed it on his seat, and he had to move it to be able to sit down, I can see why that might be a misunderstanding with him thinking you brought it for him, cause you placed it on his seat, which again is not something I expect someone to do when they know someone will be sitting there. OOP's only comment in this original post: I have had 3 strokes in the past 2 years. I still have right side weakness. He has a big SUV. I put the water and banana on the passenger seat (where I would be sitting) to lift myself up to sit down. He moved it so I can sit. Commenter: It’s never one issue - it’s the accumulation of a bunch of incidents finally being exemplified by this one glaring incident. How many times has he been irrationally angry and testy? You’re not reacting like “woah that’s so weird and out of character” so I’m guessing often. How often does he not listen to you, and won’t have a conversation, and is just pissy and demanding? How often are you expected to give in? How many times do you take the smaller piece of pie, or go to the restaurant he wants, or keep the thermostat where he likes it? You have the ick because this is the straw that’s breaking the camel’s back. It’s one time too many. Take a look at your relationship, and decide whether you want to be someone who doesn’t care that you didn’t have breakfast, will yell at you over nothing, and is going to put himself first over things large and small.   Update: March 12, 2026 (two years later) Editor's note: removed the first part of the update post as it is a rehash of the original post from two years earlier. The edit and update #1 were added to the same original post on a different sub Editor's note #2: OOP made several updates throughout the day ---- Edit: I shared this post almost 2 years ago. I was overwhelmed that 2.4 million people read my post. Shared it 2.3k times. I had over 1k comments. This post changed my life in the best way. Thank you to everyone who commented and gave me advice. An update is going to be posted this evening. Update 1: I work 4 jobs. I worked later than expected last night. I am working on my update post between breaks today. I will have the update up before 10pm EST. For those commenting that this is just "for attention" please wait till you read the update. This man left me for dead and is on bond. I'm updating because I'm grateful for those who gave advice from my OG post. I'm hoping that they find this post and know how much I appreciate them. They saved my life.   Editor’s note: below is the official update per OOP Update 2: The Banana Post… & the Plot Twist I Didn’t Expect 🍌. About two years ago I posted what I thought was just a ridiculous relationship story about a banana in the car. I expected maybe a handful of people to read it. Instead it reached millions of people, got thousands of shares, and the comment section turned into a giant discussion about red flags in relationships. At the time I thought Reddit might be overreacting a little. Turns out… Reddit might have saved my life. The day after that post went viral, one of my mentors randomly called me and said something strange: “Hey… if you ever need somewhere to stay, my husband and I have a room for you.” I was confused. I have a place of my own. Why would she think I needed somewhere to stay? She simply said, “If you ever need to leave quickly, we’re here.” What I didn’t know at the time is that she had experience as a counselor and had quietly noticed signs that my relationship wasn’t healthy. The next day I called her back and said, “You know what… I think I might take you up on that.” Then something even more unexpected happened. Later that same day she called me again and said: “My daughter works for a family with a non-verbal autistic son. They have an apartment above their garage they want to rent out. It’s $800 a month. Do you want to see it?” (They ended up being the family I needed. They're my "adopted family" now.) So my coworker and I went to look at it after work. It was beautiful. Quiet property, a mansion, peaceful little apartment above the garage. Furnished. Safe. I remember standing there thinking: “This might actually be my way out.” And honestly, part of the reason I listened to that voice was because of all of you. Thousands of Reddit comments telling me something about my situation wasn’t right. I signed the lease the next day. Then I started quietly moving my things out. When I finally told my ex I was leaving, things escalated. There were fights. Chaos. At one point he somehow managed to set his own arm on fire trying to make the house smell good with a candle on the stove. (Yes, really.) I ended up helping take care of him while he recovered… while I had the flu with a 102° fever. That was the moment I realized something important: I wasn’t his partner. I was his caretaker. Not long after that, everything finally came to a breaking point. One night during an argument he took my phone so I couldn’t call anyone. When I tried to leave, he pinned me against the wall and started screaming inches from my face. Then he threw me to the floor and put me in a chokehold. I tried to fight. I tried to kick out. I tried to tap out. But the harder I fought, the tighter he squeezed. The last thing I remember thinking was: “He’s going to accidentally kill me.” Then everything went red. Then black. When I woke up, I was alone in the room. I grabbed my little chihuahua, ran out of the house, and drove to a gas station trying to get help because I could barely breathe. Eventually I made it to the hospital where doctors and police documented the injuries. Broken capillaries in my neck. Bruising. Injuries to my ankle from trying to escape. The officers told me something that still sticks with me: Women who are strangled by their partners are at dramatically higher risk of being killed later. That next morning my ex was arrested. Since then, there have been court cases, delays, lawyers, and the long process of accountability. But the truth is, that night could have been the end of my story. Instead… It became the beginning of a completely different life. Today I work what I jokingly call four lives instead of four jobs. I’m a hairstylist, a DJ, a karaoke host, a trivia host and a bartender. Full time I’m doing hair transformations behind the chair, at nights I’m running a microphone in a bar while people passionately debate trivia questions. It’s chaotic. My schedule is wild. But my life is full of music, laughter, community and people who actually care about me. And honestly? I’m doing better than I ever imagined. I’m successful in my career, surrounded by supportive friends and building a life that feels peaceful and exciting at the same time. So I wanted to come back here and say something important: Thank you. Thank you to the Redditors who commented on that silly banana story and pointed out things I wasn’t ready to see yet. Thank you to the women who shared their experiences without judgment. Thank you to the people who encouraged me to trust my instincts. Sometimes strangers on the internet can see something clearly when you’re still standing too close to the situation. And sometimes a random banana post ends up being the first step toward saving your own life. Life isn’t perfect now. But I’m free. I’m safe. And for the record… I still bring my own bananas on car rides🍌. Update 3: One of the strangest coincidences of my life... There’s one part of that night I forgot to include in the earlier updates, and it still gives me chills when I think about it. While I was in the hospital after the strangulation, I realized I had to call the owner of the salon where I work to tell her I wouldn’t be able to make it in that day. When she answered, the first thing she said after hearing what happened was: “I’ve actually been waiting for this phone call.” I was confused. I asked her what she meant. She paused and said something that stopped me cold. She told me that that exact day was the anniversary of her sister’s death. Her sister had been murdered by her boyfriend… by strangulation. She said she was so sorry that it happened to me, but that hearing my story didn’t shock her because she had seen the signs before and she cared about my safety. I started crying when she told me that. I don’t know exactly what I believe when it comes to fate or the universe or coincidences. But moments like that make you stop and think. The day I almost lost my life was the same day the woman who owns the salon I work at lost her sister to the exact same thing. And somehow, I ended up working for someone who understands what I went through in a way very few people can. Since then, I’ve realized something important. I’m surrounded by people who care about me, who look out for me and who genuinely want me to be safe and happy. My friends, my coworkers, my mentors, even strangers who supported me when I needed it. After everything that happened, I don’t take that for granted anymore. I’m grateful. And I’m still here. To any women or men who feel like they can't get out of a situation... I promise you can make it out. It won't be easy, but you can do it. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: What happened to the three daughters? Did they get out. Were they attacked ever? OOP: He still has joint custody. His trial is coming up. Commenter 2: Wow. Even when she decided to leave, it still took several things before she did. I read the part about being left for dead and assumed the story would be him somehow finding her in her new above garage apartment. OOP: He tried to get my address. He tried to go over to the apartment to drop of dinner or send me door dash, but I never allowed him to know where I lived. OOP responds to a commenter who shared similar experience OOP: Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. I got the chills reading your comment bc when I woke up I went to get Sienna (my Chihuahua) I noticed my ex in the kitchen on his phone texting. He then waved my phone and in a high pitch, creepy voice phone and said in a taunting tone: " Here's your phone." To find out he was messaging his best friend and ex-wife saying I went crazy. The only reason I know this bc they messaged me on IG, after his arrest, they were telling me I need to drop the charges. I was unconscious in the room and he was already creating his story. Commenter 3: OP, KNOW that by sharing your experiences you HAVE and WILL save lives. I wish you all the blessings in the world, because you are a blessing TO the world. OOP: That's all I want. It's hard to accept that I was fooled by a man. I thought I was smarter than that. But I realize I was manipulated by a man who has a degree in psychology. He was one step ahead till I figured out his mind games. I had a security guard at a club we were at pull me aside and told me:" the peace that you will feel without that man will feel better than the love you have for him." I consistently had strangers in public stand up for me. It took time to get out and regular therapy to be able to not be upset with myself to allow that kind of manipulation and treatment. OOP shares on how she is doing after she left her ex OOP: It definitely hasn't been easy after I left. I'm working 4 jobs bc I went into debt helping support him and his family. I have attorney fees. I wish I would have left sooner I would have saved myself some trauma and some money. + I'm happily working the hardest I have ever worked in my life but I'm the first women in my entire family to live on my own without a man. The first women in my family to stand up against abuse. I'm definitely proud to finally break the generational curse. OOP on the ex's daughters OOP: I love those girls so much. I never wanted to have children, but they opened up my heart in a way I can't explain. I loved taking care of them and having them in my life. I learned a lot from having them in my life. I stayed for them, but I also had to leave for them. I had to set the example. OOP on her dog OOP: Sienna is doing great. She's 16 and thriving. She my spoiled brat. Commenter 4: Congratulations on escaping that vile, abusive SOB. I’m wishing the absolute worst on him. I knew a young woman whose husband would choke her during arguments. She didn’t want to leave him at first, but was finally convinced to file for divorce. A few months later, he went to her apartment to “talk,” strangled her and left her for dead, then turned himself in. She was on life support for a couple of days until it became evident there was no brain activity left. I’m glad for you that you’re safe now, as, if that rat-bastard nearly killed you the first time, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have stopped until he managed it the next time. OOP: That wasn't his first time strangulating me. The other times I was able to "tap out" but it got worse every time. OOP shares her experiences when it came to calling the police OOP: I didn't want police involved. When I went to the gas station for help the worker told me he was going to call the police. Once I heard that, I ran. I didn't want to get him in trouble. I finally had to stop driving bc my ankle hurt so bad. I went to the closet gas station and a nurse who was there saw me told me I needed to go to the hospital bc my ankle was broken. She told me to not allow whoever did that to me to get away with it. She was smart enough not to bring up police or 911. At that moment I was still trying to protect him. What I didn't know is once the nurses and doctors knew what happened to me they had to call the police and in the state I live in it's not me against him it's the state against him. I have no say in if he gets arrested. It took me over 5 hours to finally open up to the police. OOP on doing well for herself and the progress of the ex's trial OOP: Thank you! Trial keeps getting postponed bc he fired his lawyer or his lawyer ends up withdrawing from his case.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Best Smart Thermostat Picks? Worth It?
I’m thinking about upgrading to a smart thermostat, but every time I look there are different brands, apps, compatibility quirks, and price tags. Some are under $100, others are way more expensive. I’m having trouble figuring out what actually matters and what’s just marketing. I mainly want something that; Is reliable and doesn’t constantly glitch or disconnect Actually makes it easier to control temperature without overthinking Helps with energy usage instead of just looking cool Works well with voice assistants (Alexa/Google/HomeKit) Is worth the price long-term, not just trendy For people who have one already; What smart thermostat are you using? Has it been worth the money and time??? Does it actually help lower bills or is that exaggerated? Was installation straightforward or a headache? Any brands or specific models you’d recommend or stay away from? Trying to get good feedback before I commit to one that ends up collecting dust or causing headaches. Edited: Just got a Honeywell thermostat, the remote control from phone and auto-learning schedule are seriously convenient. submitted by /u/ParticularSubject411 to r/BuyItForLife [link] [comments]

My husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing
I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/footballfriends1 Originally posted to r/relationship_advice My husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing Trigger Warnings: internalized misogyny and body image issues Original Post: February 27, 2026 Husband and I have been together 15 years and throughout our relationship I have been a conservatively dressed frumpier woman. My clothes look good on me but it's a lot of looser fits, high necklines, sweaters, etc. I am also the mom of a toddler. Recently my husband and I went shopping with my younger sisters, who are in their mid 20s and are skinny and single. They bought stuff that suited their lifestyle. Short skirts, low necks, flashy, etc. It all looked great on them. My husband kept encouraging me to try on that kind of stuff and I politely declined. Later he told me that he would love it if I showed more skin, at least at home if not out and about. We live in the Midwest and I am cold about 9 months of the year, so I am always completely covered and wrapped in a blanket to boot. I laughed this off thinking he was just being silly. But he was very serious. We don't have the greatest sex life, being together so long and having a toddler, but it's not terrible and I do take off my clothes at that time, just not every day. I told him that scandalous clothes simply don't fit my lifestyle, but he keeps insisting I try it. I am a larger woman and the clothes he admires simply would not work for me. I'm wondering if I should just ignore his request or have another talk with him? Compromise somehow? What's the best way forward? *Tl;Dr husband wants middle aged wife to dress more revealing. Wife is uncomfortable* Editor's note: please note that many of OOP's responses were downvoted, but they provide more details Relevant Comments Commenter 1: That's really, really sad. Perhaps you need to reevaluate some things and invest in mental health support. OOP: I like my life. It's just tiring, and being tired makes me feel middle aged. It's not deeper than that. Commenter 2: Of course it’s deeper than that. No 33 year-old describes themselves as middle aged. Your husband sees a problem and is trying to get his young, sexy wife back. OOP: This is the thing. I have always dressed and looked this way. He's never had a "young, sexy wife". he's had a more elegant, casual, conservatively dressed wife. Commenter 3: you called yourself frumpy and always wrapped in a blanket, that’s not elegantly casual. OOP: lol, I guess my work/leaving the house attire is different from home attire. I'm cold! I have to stay warm in the house! It's either blankets, sweat suits, or a very thick robe. Commenter 4: Are you leaving the house often? Is your LO in day care or are you mostly at home taking care of them? OOP: We both work. I have hobbies that involve me leaving the house as well. Commenter 5: Do you and your husband go on date nights where you dress up? You don't need to dress in a way that's antithetical to your style or comfort, but it sounds like he may be expressing some desire for less frumpy middle-aged bundle mode and a bit more wife mode. How would he characterize your sex life? "Not great but not terrible" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement in the first place, but I suspect he might lean more towards terrible than great in his own estimation. Being parents of a toddler is hard, and that's why it's extra important to make sure you're nurturing the relationship as well, not just the parent side of things. That includes intimacy. Sounds like you two need to have an honest talk about your "not great" sex life and how to work on feeling more physically connected. And yeah, that might occasionally mean turning up the thermostat a bit and putting away the sweats. OOP: Dress up dates, not often, but when we go I have nice modest clothing that I wear. Our sex life is not great. His sex drive is lower than mine. I've gotten used to it Commenter 6: I think self-describing yourself as a "conservatively dressed frumpier woman" makes your husband's request sound a lot more reasonable to me. Leave the toddler out of it. You've been together for 15 years and only a had a toddler for maybe three years. That's roughly 12 years of being frumpy. No wonder your sex life suffers. Your husband wants you to be sexier, but you've basically given up. Certainly there is some middle ground between what you consider "scandalous" and "frumpy." There has to be a way that you can show off a little for your husband and still feel comfortable. OOP: I feel that he knows how I dress. It's been consistent for years. Why change now, especially now that I'm running around a toddler and am definitely older. I want to appease him but showing skin isn't practical in the winter, and tight outfits show off the postpartum body in ways I don't like. I don't know how to honor his request and feel comfortable OOP needs to get therapy to deal with her unresolved issues that she has OOP: I have been to therapy and have focused a lot on decentering my looks and the pressure to be sexy. Embracing the things I do like about myself and leaving behind what I don't. Commenter 7: 33 isn’t middle aged! Why not buy some sexy lingerie for his eyes only instead and be proactive about wearing it to bed and initiating? OOP: He doesn't like lingerie, it puts pressure on him and feels like trying too hard. He wants "casually sexy clothing". Commenter 7: Well do you like lingerie? Could that be your compromise? At least a sexy bra or something you could start by wearing under your clothes. Personally I won’t be interested in sex if I don’t feel sexy. I understand you don’t want to wear different clothes but tbh I don’t see the harm in trying something that could potentially help you feel better about yourself or feel more sexy and maybe help your sex life. And if you try it and don’t like then oh well at least you tried. I might be wrong but your post reads as if you don’t have a lot of self-confidence. The sexiest thing a woman can wear is confidence! Also I don’t think anyone would consider 33 Middle Aged that’s just madness. OOP: I don't personally like lingerie. I have a hard to find bra size so my three bras are aggressively practical. I feel pretty good about myself in the clothes I wear! I love clothes and thrive in looser fitting, colorful yet conservative wear.   Update: March 30, 2026 (one month later) Update: my husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing I posted a little while ago about this dilemma. My husband wants me to start showing cleavage and leg while we're around the house. I have always dressed conservatively and now that I have a toddler, this feels even more impractical. So, a few days after posting, I humored him by taking him shopping. I asked him to pick out stuff that he wanted me to wear, and agreed to try them on in the dressing room. He picked out all the expected stuff. Lace camis, deep necklines. Even a few pairs of shorts and one of those ridiculous bloomer things. I tried them all on and then showed him how difficult each one would be. This top while bending to pick up toys. These shorts while changing diapers. How everything rides up and slips and would require constant adjustment. After a while of this, he backed off. Apologized. Agreed he would not ask for any of that again. Unfortunately, it appears he might have developed some kind of Madonna complex. We have not had sex since that day. He does not find my current persona sexually appealing anymore. He's dissatisfied with us having sex with the lights off, even though that's how we've always done it. So we're at a bit of a stalemate now. Is there a way we can reach a compromise that allows me to be comfortable and him to have some level of arousal? Or do we stick to the status quo? Editor's note: OOP made lots of responses, I am listing top common questions and responses Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Why not try to find a special outfit for “occasions”? I saw in your other post you keep saying you’re middle aged at 33… I’m 40 and refuse to use those words. Are you feeling ok? OOP: I am a tired mom. I've felt middle aged for a while. I feel ok but I also take antidepressants and have for many years Commenter 2: How much mental load does your husband take on? OOP: The majority. He's a great parent Commenter 3: You did not “humor” him. That implies giving things a genuine shot in good faith. It seems that your intention was to school him and show why what he wants is wrong, and to make him feel your pain. It seems to me that instead of fixating on sexy clothing as a proxy issue, you two should seek couples counseling with the aim of generally improving your sex life and communication around sex. Is this something each of you is open to? OOP: You're right. I was hurt and acted out of anger. I felt like he was asking for something so impractical and selfish that my feelings were hurt OOP on her physical shape OOP: I am a larger woman with a lot of lumps and bumps, lol. I prefer conservative items that cover my body. Commenter 4: Question - do you like your body? Do you find your body attractive and sexy aside from your husband's desire? Do you see your body as more than what it did - bear a child? Your personal style is one thing, but you seem to describe your body in a negative way and highlight what you perceive as flaws. I think this is especially common for women after pregnancy. If you don't like your body it doesn't really matter what you wear. You'll never feel comfortable because it's not about the clothes, it's about your self-image. I could be wrong, but it seems like the other things are symptoms of a much deeper root. I'd try working on that while talking with your husband. My guess is it never really occurred to him and so his request has triggered a subconscious or unspoken insecurity. OOP: I do not. I have never liked my body. Therapy has helped me see my body as a tool rather than an aesthetic thing. I focus on what it can do rather than what it looks like. I cover what displeases me and focus on what I like. I have always dressed and acted this way, even pre motherhood Commenter 5: Reading this post and then your comments about your own body is making me wonder if this is a you issue instead. You seem to be very adverse to showing off your body. Were you like this before the baby, or has pregnancy ruined your self-image? Either way, recommend some soul searching. Clearly, your husband loves you (even if his attempts to show it are misguided). You need to love you, too. OOP: I have always been this way Commenter 6: I’m curious how he dresses and if it’s appealing to you. Because most of the guys who requested I wear specific items of clothing did not dress to a standard I found appealing. OOP: He wears what he likes. I've never been invested in his looks or clothing OOP on her family OOP We both work outside the home. He is a fantastic parent and partner. Our child is around 18 months.   ----NEW UPDATE---- DISCLAIMER: OOP HAS UPDATED AFTER THE BoRU WAS POSTED SO PER RULES UPDATE IS INCLUDED I (33F) am trying to improve my intimate life with my husband (33M) and am struggling?: April 7, 2026 (one week later) I can't officially update per subreddit rules but I posted here a bit over a week ago about my husband wanting me to wear shorts/tanks/etc around the house and me disliking my body and wanting to cover up as much as possible. Well, my husband saw the posts and we talked about it. I have made inquiries about finding a new therapist and so that is in the works. We planned to try intimacy with a lamp on so he could see me a little. My husband was very loving and encouraging. He agreed to put the request for new wardrobe on hold while I pull myself together. And then stuff got worse. I am a hobbyist writer attempting to get a novel published (I write every day from 4 to 7 AM, it is the thing I love most in life). After two failed novels my agent officially dropped me. Now I don't just feel middle aged. I feel old and dried up and so defeated. All I have ever wanted to do is be a writer and now I'm even further than ever before. It's like, I'm not beautiful or successful or smart but I can write...now I don't even have that. So yeah. At an absolute low point. My question is, how can I take care of my marriage and my family and myself in this state? I feel like I can't lean on him because he's going through his own stuff and I don't really have anyone else to turn to either. I've kind of lost all my friends these past few years, mostly due to jealousy about everyone else's successes. My own fault. It's all my own fault.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Lennox iComfort E30 - Thermostat cannot communicate with the SmartHub
I have two E30 models installed on my first and second floor. I am being told that I can only adjust the temperature for my second floor thermostat from the first floor thermostat, and vice versa. When I go to the settings icon after swiping to go to the other floor's settings, I get that message. Anyone else can confirm if that's how that is setup to function?

electric company offered a free home energy audit and the thing they flagged was not what i expected at all
signed up just thinking theyd tell me to turn lights off and call it a day. guy came out, walked around for maybe 45 mins and the main thing he kept coming back to was the water heater mine was set to 140f which apparently is what they come preset at from the factory. he said most households are totally fine at 120f and the difference in energy use is actually pretty significant because its heating and reheating all day dropped it down that week and my next bill was noticeably lower. not life changing but consistent every month since. also found out my dryer vent had a partial blockage which was making it run longer cycles than it needed to, fixed that myself for basically nothing had some money from Ѕtake set aside for a new smart thermostat thinking that was the move but this whole thing was free and probably made more of a dent than a thermostat wouldve worth checking if your utility offers it, most do and its usually buried on their website. took me maybe 3 minutes to schedule submitted by /u/young_wealth to r/Frugal [link] [comments]

My bf asked for the banana & now I've got the ick + 2 Year Update
I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Effective-Snow-1186 Originally posted to r/TwoHotTakes My bf asked for the banana & now I've got the ick + 2 Year Update Editor's note: added paragraph breaks and made small edits for ease of readability Trigger Warnings: emotional abuse and manipulation, verbal abuse, medical issues, strangulation, domestic violence, attempted murder Original Post: March 9, 2024 My bf asked for the banana and now I've got the ick Me and my bf have been together for almost 3 years. He has three teenage daughters. Every morning before school/work I make breakfast and coffee. I typically make breakfast sandwiches. Usually when they're eating breakfast it's too early for my body to handle eating, so I'll eat later in the morning. The other morning we had an event to go to a hour away, I made breakfast as usual, they ate as usual and I didn’t, but I grabbed water and a banana to take to eat on the way. When I got in the car I put everything on the seat. My bf took the water and banana and put it on the center console. About 20 minutes into the drive I got hungry and took a bite of the banana. He looked at me and said angrily: "You know I would like to eat some of MY banana!" I thought he was joking but soon realized he was serious. I told him that I brought the banana because I haven't eaten breakfast and that I knew I would get hungry. He told me that was his banana and he wanted to eat it. I was in shock because I knew 110% I brought the banana and after I told him I hadn't eaten yet (he had eaten) and told him I was hungry he still wanted the banana. I had only taken one small bite, I gave him the banana. He ate it and didn't think twice about it. I have the ick big time all over a freakin' banana. Relevant / Top Comments Downvoted Commenter: When I got in the car I put everything on the seat. My bf took the water and banana and put it on the center console. I feel like I need an elaboration here, because something doesn't fit? So.. you get in the car and place the water and banana on the seat.. which seat, the one you’re sitting in? Why would you place it in the other seat if you know your bf is about to sit down there? If you placed it on the seat next to you, he reached over and took it off your seat to move it? If you placed it on his seat, and he had to move it to be able to sit down, I can see why that might be a misunderstanding with him thinking you brought it for him, cause you placed it on his seat, which again is not something I expect someone to do when they know someone will be sitting there. OOP's only comment in this original post: I have had 3 strokes in the past 2 years. I still have right side weakness. He has a big SUV. I put the water and banana on the passenger seat (where I would be sitting) to lift myself up to sit down. He moved it so I can sit. Commenter: It’s never one issue - it’s the accumulation of a bunch of incidents finally being exemplified by this one glaring incident. How many times has he been irrationally angry and testy? You’re not reacting like “woah that’s so weird and out of character” so I’m guessing often. How often does he not listen to you, and won’t have a conversation, and is just pissy and demanding? How often are you expected to give in? How many times do you take the smaller piece of pie, or go to the restaurant he wants, or keep the thermostat where he likes it? You have the ick because this is the straw that’s breaking the camel’s back. It’s one time too many. Take a look at your relationship, and decide whether you want to be someone who doesn’t care that you didn’t have breakfast, will yell at you over nothing, and is going to put himself first over things large and small.   Update: March 12, 2026 (two years later) Editor's note: removed the first part of the update post as it is a rehash of the original post from two years earlier. The edit and update #1 were added to the same original post on a different sub Editor's note #2: OOP made several updates throughout the day ---- Edit: I shared this post almost 2 years ago. I was overwhelmed that 2.4 million people read my post. Shared it 2.3k times. I had over 1k comments. This post changed my life in the best way. Thank you to everyone who commented and gave me advice. An update is going to be posted this evening. Update 1: I work 4 jobs. I worked later than expected last night. I am working on my update post between breaks today. I will have the update up before 10pm EST. For those commenting that this is just "for attention" please wait till you read the update. This man left me for dead and is on bond. I'm updating because I'm grateful for those who gave advice from my OG post. I'm hoping that they find this post and know how much I appreciate them. They saved my life.   Editor’s note: below is the official update per OOP Update 2: The Banana Post… & the Plot Twist I Didn’t Expect 🍌. About two years ago I posted what I thought was just a ridiculous relationship story about a banana in the car. I expected maybe a handful of people to read it. Instead it reached millions of people, got thousands of shares, and the comment section turned into a giant discussion about red flags in relationships. At the time I thought Reddit might be overreacting a little. Turns out… Reddit might have saved my life. The day after that post went viral, one of my mentors randomly called me and said something strange: “Hey… if you ever need somewhere to stay, my husband and I have a room for you.” I was confused. I have a place of my own. Why would she think I needed somewhere to stay? She simply said, “If you ever need to leave quickly, we’re here.” What I didn’t know at the time is that she had experience as a counselor and had quietly noticed signs that my relationship wasn’t healthy. The next day I called her back and said, “You know what… I think I might take you up on that.” Then something even more unexpected happened. Later that same day she called me again and said: “My daughter works for a family with a non-verbal autistic son. They have an apartment above their garage they want to rent out. It’s $800 a month. Do you want to see it?” (They ended up being the family I needed. They're my "adopted family" now.) So my coworker and I went to look at it after work. It was beautiful. Quiet property, a mansion, peaceful little apartment above the garage. Furnished. Safe. I remember standing there thinking: “This might actually be my way out.” And honestly, part of the reason I listened to that voice was because of all of you. Thousands of Reddit comments telling me something about my situation wasn’t right. I signed the lease the next day. Then I started quietly moving my things out. When I finally told my ex I was leaving, things escalated. There were fights. Chaos. At one point he somehow managed to set his own arm on fire trying to make the house smell good with a candle on the stove. (Yes, really.) I ended up helping take care of him while he recovered… while I had the flu with a 102° fever. That was the moment I realized something important: I wasn’t his partner. I was his caretaker. Not long after that, everything finally came to a breaking point. One night during an argument he took my phone so I couldn’t call anyone. When I tried to leave, he pinned me against the wall and started screaming inches from my face. Then he threw me to the floor and put me in a chokehold. I tried to fight. I tried to kick out. I tried to tap out. But the harder I fought, the tighter he squeezed. The last thing I remember thinking was: “He’s going to accidentally kill me.” Then everything went red. Then black. When I woke up, I was alone in the room. I grabbed my little chihuahua, ran out of the house, and drove to a gas station trying to get help because I could barely breathe. Eventually I made it to the hospital where doctors and police documented the injuries. Broken capillaries in my neck. Bruising. Injuries to my ankle from trying to escape. The officers told me something that still sticks with me: Women who are strangled by their partners are at dramatically higher risk of being killed later. That next morning my ex was arrested. Since then, there have been court cases, delays, lawyers, and the long process of accountability. But the truth is, that night could have been the end of my story. Instead… It became the beginning of a completely different life. Today I work what I jokingly call four lives instead of four jobs. I’m a hairstylist, a DJ, a karaoke host, a trivia host and a bartender. Full time I’m doing hair transformations behind the chair, at nights I’m running a microphone in a bar while people passionately debate trivia questions. It’s chaotic. My schedule is wild. But my life is full of music, laughter, community and people who actually care about me. And honestly? I’m doing better than I ever imagined. I’m successful in my career, surrounded by supportive friends and building a life that feels peaceful and exciting at the same time. So I wanted to come back here and say something important: Thank you. Thank you to the Redditors who commented on that silly banana story and pointed out things I wasn’t ready to see yet. Thank you to the women who shared their experiences without judgment. Thank you to the people who encouraged me to trust my instincts. Sometimes strangers on the internet can see something clearly when you’re still standing too close to the situation. And sometimes a random banana post ends up being the first step toward saving your own life. Life isn’t perfect now. But I’m free. I’m safe. And for the record… I still bring my own bananas on car rides🍌. Update 3: One of the strangest coincidences of my life... There’s one part of that night I forgot to include in the earlier updates, and it still gives me chills when I think about it. While I was in the hospital after the strangulation, I realized I had to call the owner of the salon where I work to tell her I wouldn’t be able to make it in that day. When she answered, the first thing she said after hearing what happened was: “I’ve actually been waiting for this phone call.” I was confused. I asked her what she meant. She paused and said something that stopped me cold. She told me that that exact day was the anniversary of her sister’s death. Her sister had been murdered by her boyfriend… by strangulation. She said she was so sorry that it happened to me, but that hearing my story didn’t shock her because she had seen the signs before and she cared about my safety. I started crying when she told me that. I don’t know exactly what I believe when it comes to fate or the universe or coincidences. But moments like that make you stop and think. The day I almost lost my life was the same day the woman who owns the salon I work at lost her sister to the exact same thing. And somehow, I ended up working for someone who understands what I went through in a way very few people can. Since then, I’ve realized something important. I’m surrounded by people who care about me, who look out for me and who genuinely want me to be safe and happy. My friends, my coworkers, my mentors, even strangers who supported me when I needed it. After everything that happened, I don’t take that for granted anymore. I’m grateful. And I’m still here. To any women or men who feel like they can't get out of a situation... I promise you can make it out. It won't be easy, but you can do it. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: What happened to the three daughters? Did they get out. Were they attacked ever? OOP: He still has joint custody. His trial is coming up. Commenter 2: Wow. Even when she decided to leave, it still took several things before she did. I read the part about being left for dead and assumed the story would be him somehow finding her in her new above garage apartment. OOP: He tried to get my address. He tried to go over to the apartment to drop of dinner or send me door dash, but I never allowed him to know where I lived. OOP responds to a commenter who shared similar experience OOP: Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. I got the chills reading your comment bc when I woke up I went to get Sienna (my Chihuahua) I noticed my ex in the kitchen on his phone texting. He then waved my phone and in a high pitch, creepy voice phone and said in a taunting tone: " Here's your phone." To find out he was messaging his best friend and ex-wife saying I went crazy. The only reason I know this bc they messaged me on IG, after his arrest, they were telling me I need to drop the charges. I was unconscious in the room and he was already creating his story. Commenter 3: OP, KNOW that by sharing your experiences you HAVE and WILL save lives. I wish you all the blessings in the world, because you are a blessing TO the world. OOP: That's all I want. It's hard to accept that I was fooled by a man. I thought I was smarter than that. But I realize I was manipulated by a man who has a degree in psychology. He was one step ahead till I figured out his mind games. I had a security guard at a club we were at pull me aside and told me:" the peace that you will feel without that man will feel better than the love you have for him." I consistently had strangers in public stand up for me. It took time to get out and regular therapy to be able to not be upset with myself to allow that kind of manipulation and treatment. OOP shares on how she is doing after she left her ex OOP: It definitely hasn't been easy after I left. I'm working 4 jobs bc I went into debt helping support him and his family. I have attorney fees. I wish I would have left sooner I would have saved myself some trauma and some money. + I'm happily working the hardest I have ever worked in my life but I'm the first women in my entire family to live on my own without a man. The first women in my family to stand up against abuse. I'm definitely proud to finally break the generational curse. OOP on the ex's daughters OOP: I love those girls so much. I never wanted to have children, but they opened up my heart in a way I can't explain. I loved taking care of them and having them in my life. I learned a lot from having them in my life. I stayed for them, but I also had to leave for them. I had to set the example. OOP on her dog OOP: Sienna is doing great. She's 16 and thriving. She my spoiled brat. Commenter 4: Congratulations on escaping that vile, abusive SOB. I’m wishing the absolute worst on him. I knew a young woman whose husband would choke her during arguments. She didn’t want to leave him at first, but was finally convinced to file for divorce. A few months later, he went to her apartment to “talk,” strangled her and left her for dead, then turned himself in. She was on life support for a couple of days until it became evident there was no brain activity left. I’m glad for you that you’re safe now, as, if that rat-bastard nearly killed you the first time, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have stopped until he managed it the next time. OOP: That wasn't his first time strangulating me. The other times I was able to "tap out" but it got worse every time. OOP shares her experiences when it came to calling the police OOP: I didn't want police involved. When I went to the gas station for help the worker told me he was going to call the police. Once I heard that, I ran. I didn't want to get him in trouble. I finally had to stop driving bc my ankle hurt so bad. I went to the closet gas station and a nurse who was there saw me told me I needed to go to the hospital bc my ankle was broken. She told me to not allow whoever did that to me to get away with it. She was smart enough not to bring up police or 911. At that moment I was still trying to protect him. What I didn't know is once the nurses and doctors knew what happened to me they had to call the police and in the state I live in it's not me against him it's the state against him. I have no say in if he gets arrested. It took me over 5 hours to finally open up to the police. OOP on doing well for herself and the progress of the ex's trial OOP: Thank you! Trial keeps getting postponed bc he fired his lawyer or his lawyer ends up withdrawing from his case.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Best Smart Thermostat Picks? Worth It?
I’m thinking about upgrading to a smart thermostat, but every time I look there are different brands, apps, compatibility quirks, and price tags. Some are under $100, others are way more expensive. I’m having trouble figuring out what actually matters and what’s just marketing. I mainly want something that; Is reliable and doesn’t constantly glitch or disconnect Actually makes it easier to control temperature without overthinking Helps with energy usage instead of just looking cool Works well with voice assistants (Alexa/Google/HomeKit) Is worth the price long-term, not just trendy For people who have one already; What smart thermostat are you using? Has it been worth the money and time??? Does it actually help lower bills or is that exaggerated? Was installation straightforward or a headache? Any brands or specific models you’d recommend or stay away from? Trying to get good feedback before I commit to one that ends up collecting dust or causing headaches. Edited: Just got a Honeywell thermostat, the remote control from phone and auto-learning schedule are seriously convenient. submitted by /u/ParticularSubject411 to r/BuyItForLife [link] [comments]

Ubiquiti needs to make a smart thermostat
That's it, that's the post. But seriously, how did they get to EV chargers and UPS before this one? Seems like a no-brainer, homerun kinda thing. OMG it could be a Superlink hub! Considering the location of thermostats in most folks' homes that'd be a slam dunk. Or maybe even have an AP integrated. And CO sensor! And smoke detector!

If some stupid numbnuts could figure out how to make a smart thermostat that starts up in less than 14 days and three hours they could corner the market on smart thermostats, and be wealthier than Elon Musk.
How the fuck is it that a smart phone can start up in 10 seconds but a thermostat that costs twice as much as if one billion times stupider, takes 13 years 45 days and six hours to boot up????? submitted by /u/iBUYbrokenSUBARUS to r/HVAC [link] [comments]

Smart Thermostat Recommendations?
Hi! I have put myself in a rabbit hole and would like to be pulled out LOL. We have a 102 year old, 2 story (plus basement and attic) 1500 sq ft home with a gas furnace in the basement and a central AC (all 1 zone). Currently we have a non-programmable thermostat that is installed right next to the front door so we feel like we don’t get accurate temperature readings. I’m looking for a programmable thermostat that can account for the poor location. A bonus would be something that can make adjustments according to humidity but definitely not necessary. I don’t need anything super fancy, just accurate and the least likely to start glitching (seriously get bummed when I see reviews on $300 thermostats tapping out after a year). Basic searching is telling me that an Ecobee Enhanced or Honeywell T9 may be our best bets - looking for feedback on these and any suitable alternatives! submitted by /u/Slow_Barnacle_5867 to r/thermostats [link] [comments]

Two wire thermostat upgrade
I would like to replace the thermostat in my home. I don’t even care about upgrading to a smart system but would at least like a programmable. My system is heat only, fuel oil furnace and has a black wire connected to B and white connected to C with a jumper between R and Rc. Is the black that is connected to my B actually the common wire? At the furnace control box the black wire is connected to black and brown. submitted by /u/Elder_Nerdy_Emo to r/hvacadvice [link] [comments]

My boyfriend won’t give me access to the smart thermostat
I moved in with my boyfriend in march. We split the utilities 50/50 before anyone incorrectly assumes he has the right to control the temperature because he is paying for it. He has OCD and is very particular about things and thinks that the way he likes stuff is the only way (for instance the TV volume, in his mind it should only be at a few different numbers. If you can’t hear or it’s too loud it’s a you problem ). He has this mindset with the temperature of our heating and cooling systems as well. In the summer I didn’t mind because I didn’t want it to be quite as cool as him anyways but now in the winter I’m finding he prefers it to be way too cold. He is currently out of town as well. We live in the Midwest and are experiencing an awful cold front right now. Temperature “feels like negative 16 degrees.” Before he left town I asked him to find a way to give me access to the smart thermostat so that I could change the temperature of if I needed to without bothering him while I was gone. I have asked him to do this before and he’s always made an excuse or said it wasn’t possible or just told me that it wasn’t necessary because if I want to have it adjusted all I need to do is ask and he will oblige. He actually does oblige when I ask but I hate having to ask it makes me feel like we have a parent child relationship. But anyways he is working out of town this week like I mentioned earlier. Currently he has the thermostat arranged so that the time I always leave for work in the evening (I work nights) the home goes into eco mode and the heat shuts off. Last night I got sick at work and needed to come home and it was in the 50s inside the house. I called my boyfriend several times to ask him to turn it back on but he was asleep and never responded. I ended up creating a blanket fort to try and get warm. It was especially miserable since I’m dealing with cold and flu symptoms. Well when my boyfriend woke up this morning he was very apologetic but still refuses to give me access to the smart thermostat, saying he will just find a way to have the heat automatically come on when my phone connects to the WiFi. He said that function was on weeks ago so I don’t believe him. What should I do? He is not a controlling person with the big things but things like this are starting to wear on me! submitted by /u/Pitiful_Fruit2097 to r/WhatShouldIDo [link] [comments]
