I don't think I would need their wifi, we will create a shared ecobee account, they will install and add device to the app using their wifi. 

this is their 3rd year tenancy, so I think they know how to operate the thermostat, interestingly, it does not happen during day time when its 95 degrees outside. 

hope I am not infringing privacy by wireless thermostat?  

@Richard F.

In my primary residence, we have echobee and it has homeIQ thermostat data, basically it shows outdoor and indoor temperature for selected date range.

@Chris Seveney

When others suggested devices to track temperature, I immediately start searching wireless thermostats. Its a bit more expensive but a great investment. 

Thank you! 

I also thought about short cycle but it keeps happening early mornings when temperatures are not as bad as day time. 

We are going to set realistic expectations, and get the tools to track temperatures.  

Thank you for your feedback. 

Thank you guys for great tips. 

They charge more after hours and weekends visits, service call fee about $100 just for showing up, plus diagnostics fee. They are going to waive the service call fee this time, but I still have cover another diagnostic fee. 

Aloha, 

Its good idea, I can definitely get that track the temperatures. 

However, if the AC contractors say HVAC is working fine, who is going to cover the fees? How many times I have to send AC contractor? 

@Chris Seveney

Ac contractor said the system is in good shape yesterday, and I asked them to check again today. If they say system is good again, who would be responsible for fees? 

@Chris Seveney

He said it was set to 74, but he checked thermostat around 2am and it was showing 78.
