It connects to the Emerson Sensi thermostat as well.Z Wave radios use far less energy than WiFi which mean battery life is much better.

Also, if you have some kind of green energy saving thermostat that micro manages the temperature throughout the day, that might be an issue.An old school Honeywell with no adjustments might be worth a try.Even a low IQ renter should be able to handle these.

Auto-thermostats adjust the temp so your AC isn’t constantly running in between guests, your floor isnt getting constant wear and tear, people hardly ever use the appliances, I think it will be pretty easy to show down the road that the little bit of extra work it takes to get a property staged and up and running is more than worth it.

My wife being a computer programmer helped.My daughter went from struggling in high school to doing well at the Univesity of Arkansas. 

:@Gerardo EscutiaWho sets their thermostat to 64?

Maybe sell or lease the land if you don't want to put more rentals on it.Use a wifi water heater and thermostats to save on utilities when no one is there.Market your place on Facebook, Vrbo, Craigslist etc to boost your occupancy rate.

He replaced a brand new thermostat that I installed with another one and wired up the thermostat in correctly and disconnect the electric heat and put it on the emergency heat to make the inspector happy. 

I am talking drug use, hot wiring thermostats to run continuously, over crowding, pet feces, stealing electric, etc.

When I interviewed as a programmer at a mill after college my step-grandmother warned me off about the old man that was interviewing me; he had a "reputation"; The "me too" movement, I think shocked the many decent men who had no idea that there is such a sizeable minority of predatory scum bags that women deal with on a regular basis.

You hate to send someone to fix the heat to find out the tenant doesn't know how to change the battery on the thermostat.... but that is the risk you take.
