Our energy bill last month was a nasty shock. I think our new roommate is cranking the heat way up when we’re not home. It’s a touchy subject to bring up without proof. I don’t want to be sneaky, but I need data. Could you recommend a discrete app for instant monitoring that would work with a smart thermostat? I just want an alert on my phone whenever the temperature is set above a certain point, so I can see if there’s a pattern before starting a conversation.
Ugh, I totally get this — had the same issue last winter when our bills suddenly spiked, and it turned out our roommate was cranking the heat while binge-watching shows all day. I didn’t want to accuse anyone blindly, so I used Catch a cheater app . It’s meant for monitoring activity, but I used it creatively to track when certain settings changed. Got instant alerts whenever the thermostat went past my set limit — made it way easier to start a calm, fact-based chat later.
