 Disclaimer: I can’t have anyone getting hurt, so if you have an HVAC system running, please don’t try to actually catch it. The only thing that needs getting hurt is your wallet from how fat it’s gonna get after this tip! We had a HUGE response to our tips and tricks last month, which I guess means we’ll do another one! Thanks to Dennis from Integrated Smart Technologies for his submission! Check it out below. We also have some new and updated KB articles, drivers, and some hot products headed your way. No running necessary… Ashley Kimsey Education Operations Specialist  Have you ever wondered how long your HVAC system runs during the day? Or how many hours your kids watch TV after school?

Thanks for this one.  “In the example below, we’re tracking how many minutes our HVAC system runs each day (for both heating and cooling), and getting a notification each night, letting us know how long it’s run for. This same programming concept could easily be adapted to show how long a TV has been on, or a door opened, or you could track pool pump run times, etc. – anything that doesn’t already have a native timer built into the driver…you get the idea…”— Dennis Warzun DOWNLOAD THE STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE HERE >>  THE 8-OUTLET WATTBOX IS OUT OF THE BOX!
