My rush hour went off yesterday afternoon and the temp rise made me doze off and i woke up sweating with it set to 80 degrees. I'm in the process of canceling, it's not easy. I used the chat and someone is going to send me an email (which says it's canceled?) within 24-48 hours.

Harder to turn off than anything else in recent memory. If anyone has a pro tip on an easy way to cancel let me know.

When I had them hooked into my EV, I literally had to change my Kia password when they ignored my requests to disable the feature.

Presumably they similarly have some sort of cloud permission into your thermostat, which can be disabled by changing the password, resetting the device, or worst case scenario, get a new thermostat.

Just connect the wires manually To turn on the fan and AC, you'd connect R and Y (or R, G, and Y on systems where the thermostat controls the fan).

Don’t do this, a cheap non-programmable thermostat is a better option and inexpensive.

Wire them both up so that your cheap thermostat provides hard upper and lower limits.

Your HVAC doesn't care where it gets a 24V signal. An open relay won't mind being energized from the "wrong" direction. AFAIK, thermostats won't tattle.

For real, you have to hotwire your AC for manual operation?

You can change the temperature after rush hour starts. I'm talking about turning off the rush hour crap entirely.

They got back to me and wanted to do a phone call to unenroll me. I told them they could do it without speaking to me since I don't have any power in the process, so we got to skip the phone call. I'm officially out of rush hour.
