One of the reviews that I found on the kelvin was that loud noises can change the settings. The voice recognition portion is activated by clapping your hands or knocking on a table. You can then say up or down but the one review stated that some music and barking guide dogs changed the settings. That is why I checked out the vip model. I don't know if all of the kelvins have that feature. I don't remember what model was in the review. I could not locate any reviews on the vip but spoke to the manufacturer and was sold on it's features. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 8:24 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] kelvin voice thermostat
The trouble that I had with that particular thermostat was that it wouldn't keep the settings after a while. A friend of mine had this one for 6 months or more, so I feel that this one certainly had a malfunction, to say the least! I don't know about the VIP one, but I am very leery of them.
