I guess people will use those to run some kind of voip (this of course
requires a microphone in thermostat) so they can chat with friends on
other continent while sitting in a basement or under kitchen
sink. Very, very practical and innovative, trust me.
So a new 2-wire thermostat was employed instead (at
the installer's
expense) and it has WiFi, Web and Bluetooth connectivity as part of
the package. Fortunately, all of the aforementioned can be disabled
via appropriate selection on the (color) LCD graphic touchscreen.
I would check, even with the help of a smartphone's sensors, what it
shows when you enable thermo-blue-tooth-why-fi and what when you
disable them. BTW, do you have bt keyboard in your house? Your
neighbour(s)?
