I am installing WiFi controllers for both thermostats so I can monitor and also purchase a cheap wall unit for their bedroom.

. - i.e. digital door locks, wifi controlled thermostats, ring camera on the exterior entrance.  

Turn washer spin speed up to the highest setting because they're unlikely to change it..5 GPM aerator on bathroom faucets1.25 GPM aerator on kitchen faucet1.25 GPM showerhead1.28 gp-flush toilets--I'm only replacing them because they're the horrific 90s toilets that clog CONSTANTLY, as the water savings will literally never pay offNew tub spout diverters because the current ones leak around the edges badlyY-splitter on top load washing machine to connect the washer only to the cold supply (it's not a high-efficiency, so it cleans well at any temperature) Smart thermostat with 74 degrees minimum cooling temp and 71 degrees maximum heating temp until 10 pm, dropping to 68 degrees until 6am Alarms on doors and windows that alert me if either is left open while the heat or AC is onNew windows, because the current ones are single panes in need of heavy maintenance and are already causing problemsPossibly solar screens on two of the windows that get the most light, particularly a west-facing one

Options might include smart locks, smart thermostat and smart doorbells, among others. 

(Third unit is electric, and all the thermostats etc were replaced two years ago). 

Currently, power is on but lightning blew a couple of breaker switches plus WiFi is down, modem is fried, dishwasher doesn’t work, dryer turns on but doesn’t heat, garage door opener doesn’t work and one Nest thermostat was fried.

Hello,I had a tenant last winter and the heat in his unit was supplemented by the unit above him.It gets really cold down there in winter but he chose not to have free heat and sealed the vents tightly with an aluminum foil without  letting me know , I could have easily adjusted the thermostat to lower  per his needs if he had told me and supplemented my apartment above with any additional heat but he chose to seal without letting me know inspite of my warning later on and obviously it can have detrimental effect on the tubing inside the walls due to excess pressure build up.He also complained about high electricity Bill's (obviously he would incur high utility bills when he turns on his electric radiator without using the free heat he was getting) I ended up having an oversight from my end as I did not verify if sealing vent caused any damage .
