Repeat from 1 to 3 times or so.At some point in all this, the timer also turns on the release for the main detergent cup, to let detergent in.After the last pump-out cycle, the timer turns on the heating element in the bottom of the dishwasher, and leaves it on for an hour, plus or minus.There isn't a thermostat that turns the heating element off and on (like an oven).

{The are especially affected by drafts}Material wise, EBB, is inexpensive:  $25 - $75 for a classic style heater; about 50% more for a modern heater with zigbee/Z-wave capability to tie into a house/unit-wide programmable thermostat or management system.  

Does anybody on Bigger Pockets have a recommended technology stack to satisfy all (or even most) of the needs listed below:- Smart Central Door Bell for the main entrance- Smart Locks for each unit (leaning towards Kevo from Kwickset)- Smart Home Security with Exterior Cameras (likely moving forward with Ring)- Smart Lights (leaning towards Honeywell Home)- Smart Thermostat (leaning towards Honeywell Home)Please advise.Best,Sam

Would tenants control the thermostat or do I set a base temperature?

Added smart thermostats and window/acs, new blinds, new flooring and baseboards, and washers and dryers.

The main issue is political thermostat of this current day and age.
