We use a Honeywell model in our student houses which is programmable (4-5 periods per day) and allows for a temporary manual override of the programme.  

At the 10 year mark and at the time a full time computer programmer, I decided to change my thinking. 

When I shared some of the numbers with a programmer making 150k in the Bay Area when we were playing a game on our phones together, he was nearly blown away. 

The way this property is set up is there is one gas furnace and one unit has a thermostat so they would control the heat for both units.

One thing I’ve done is create a trigger that fires off two hours before the guest is set to check in which automatically sets my thermostat to the appropriate setting.

They had to replace HVAC air handle fan relay, thermostat, bad wires which ended up to be $316.25.

We use programmable/electronic locks on our rentals.

There's a thermostat and element in each.

Just for the 2 units that in my mind were rent ready (have needed plumbing work in both). 1 water heater wasn't working (not producing any hot water, eneded up replacing 2 thermostats and a lower element). the other one required a new dub drainage connection (it was completely rusted / corrosive damage and was leaking into the basement. luckily this was on the first floor.

Miami ‘Hack Week’ hopes to lure tech programmers to Magic CityMiami continues to press (with great success) to be the next Silicone Valley; we all saw what happened to California real estate driven by billion dollar tech companies and high-paying tech jobs.A key ingredient remains missing from Miami’s next-great-tech-hub brew: an abundance of software engineers.A group led by longtime South Florida innovators hope they can lay the seeds to change that.They are organizing Miami Hack Week, kicking off Aug. 1.
