Mine isn’t “smart” in that it’s an IOT device, no. It does have a socket for some sort of module for a utility to “talk” to it to make it shut off or turn it down, however. I never investigated those functions as my utility doesn’t offer them. Maybe if one got one of the modules you could do that, I don’t know.
Mine does have “vacation” settings that you can do though the front panel. It will also come out of certain settings after a predetermined time as well, but I don’t recall the details. I would have to go back and read through the documentation. -D > On Jun 6, 2021, at 3:05 PM, Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > A sort of dehumidifier too right? > > Is yours "smart"?
