Where? In fact, I have lived in 96° average weather for years without air-conditioning. And hopefully you are not suggesting that the only people who need air conditioning live in that sort of climate.
A remote control on an air conditioner has many possible uses to the general public. But of course, a remote might be entirely useless to you. But I am sure a salesman would be happy to entertain your question.
When I lived in Irvine, I had a big problem. We were always waking up at about 2-3AM and having to adjust the thermostat. It was set fine when we went to bed, but around then the marine layer would roll in, and the humidity would jump from around 35-50% to more like 80-90%. if we had just had a remote, I could have reached over to the night stand, and made the quick adjustment. Instead, I had to get up, go downstairs to the thermostat, hit it twice to go down a degree (or two...) and then climb the stairs and try to get back to sleep.
Or, your wife is going through menopause, and gets night sweats, so she can turn it down without gettting up.
and then turn it back up a half hour later when she gets cold...
and then back down an hour later when she gets hot again...
I have a life, and can even get up off the couch at least once a=20 day, if necessary (usually isn't), to change the thermostat. We=20 use thermostats for a reason.
No, unlike you, I know there is more than one person here in Usenet Land. Please tell us (all).
It seems that you are the troll.
I don't want a steenkin' remote. You seem think a remote controlled AC important, even though (with eyes looking down your nose) you don't think AC is.
Seems you're doing the trolling here, though can't remember which bait you're using. Alsheimer's?
Nope, we had a setback thermostat, but that didn't help the problem. You never knew just when the marine layer would roll in, and if it ever would during the night.
I did try building a temperature/humidity compensated thermostat, but ran into software problems... 8-)
