Smart thermostats and chill vibes

Had a similar issue with mine, but weirdly enough it wasn't metal causing the trouble—it was this big decorative mirror we hung nearby. Took me forever to figure out why the signal kept dropping randomly until I moved the thermostat away from it. Guess reflective surfaces can mess with wireless signals too...who knew? Still skeptical about how sensitive these things can be, but relocating it definitely sorted out my problem.

Interesting observation about reflective surfaces—I hadn't considered mirrors causing interference. Had a similar puzzle with a thermostat in one of our new developments; turned out a large aquarium nearby was the culprit. Strange how sensitive these devices can be to their surroundings...
