We have two smart thermostats in the house. I signed one of them up (upstairs - and Master Bedroom is downstairs) for the Duke Power "management" program and get a yearly $25 discount. (It's not much but 'why not?') The upstairs thermostat is ONLY turned on the one or two times a year when a daughter/family visits.
Be sure to get your “smart” thermostat so one day it will be a mandatory choice.

Does it connect to your home Wi-Fi?
If so, it might be spying on you.
