Starting in 2025, devices can't block repair parts with software pairing checks.

    A thermostat doesn’t have refrigerants/gasses in them. It’s nothing more than a complicated on off switch

        What… The… Fuck?

        If your thermostat could cause a fire or gas leak, your HVAC system is flawed. This is entirely a fabricated concern. If anything, I’d chalk it up as reasons why maybe right to repair the HVAC isn’t a great idea. A properly setup HVAC wont let anything tell it to do that.
