What is this device? (Located on wall inside a house)
Hi everyone,
would anyone know what kind of device that is? Is it an AC remote? A humidity sensor? An air quality measurement? Or just a digital temperature sensor?
The picture is from the wall of a newly built house in Arkansas, so I suspect it has to do something with "smart home".
Thanks for your help!
Cheers, Temperche
Looks like a Nest Thermostat
correct
That seems to be it. Thanks. Too bad that doesn't seem usable without extensive wiring and is thus only an option for newly constructed houses.
I use one in a house that is 90 years old. The HVAC that it is attached to is from the 90s.
That "extensive wiring" is similar to a phone wire, and has been standard for a very, very long time
This feels like a bot crowdsourcing captcha solutions from Lemmy 😅
Obviously it's a fart counter. Resets at midnight.
OP has been busy!Why is this post downvoted so heavily? Am I overseeing something?
Asklemmy is for open ended questions that prompt discussion. This is not that.
Is see, so [email protected] is probably the right community. I guess it would be more helpful to just tell OP :)
Probably because of the blurry picture. But dunno.
That's a nest thermostat. Press the face inward to wake it, spin the dial to adjust settings.
Some of the newer cheaper nest models don’t spin. They have a touch sensor on the right side.
But this looks like a spinny model.
I've seen AC temperature controllers in this form factor. The outer ring can spin and will let you turn the temperature up or down. It is usually part of a larger smart-home system but it doesn't have to be.
Smart thermostat of some kind.

It looks like a malfunctioning thermostat. Or the temperature is in percentage rather than in Celsius.
in Arkansas
in Celsius
Does not compute. Them there's freedom units.
It’s the us. Fahrenheit, bruh.
Given that its a picture from the US, I'd suspect Fahrenheit rather than Celsius.
