Hot take: I replaced my smart thermostat with a basic dial model after it locked me out of my own heat for a weekend.

Maybe the problem was the specific brand or setup. A good smart thermostat shouldn't just fail like that, they have battery backups and manual overrides. The convenience of adjusting my house temp from bed or while I'm out is worth way more than a single bad weekend. Going back to a basic dial feels like giving up on a ton of useful control for one bad experience.

Yeah I get what @olivia554 is saying, but mine totally bricked during a freeze last year lol. I swapped it for a simpler programmable one, still lets me set a schedule without the app headaches.
