My bedroom is the hottest room in our home and it’s 80F outside – I found a way to cool it down without buying a new AC
A MOM has sparked a frenzy for a must-have gadget after revealing how it helps to keep the hottest room in her house cool.
Shannon McNitt (@livingonlife101) bought the device after becoming fed up with the extreme heat in her bedroom.
She shared why a wireless sensor is the perfect solution to reducing room temperature without splurging on an expensive new air conditioning system.
Speaking on TikTok, Shannon said: “Did you know that the temperature of your entire house is gauged by where your thermostat is located?
“If you’re like me and have one room in your house that’s always hot, you can get a wireless sensor that you can put anywhere.
“It changes the location that your temperature is taken for your entire house.”
Shannon showed her thermostat, which revealed it was 80 degrees outside and 76 degrees in her home.
She then walked into another room where her Z-wave Plus sensor had been attached to the wall, bringing the temperature there lower.
She revealed that wireless sensors can be bought anywhere online but it’s important to check which smart thermostat is compatible before purchasing.
The mom added that there hasn’t been an increase in her bills in the months since she installed the sensor.
“Hot bedroom, no more!” she added in the caption of the post.
She included the hashtags #airconditioner, #ac, #hothouse, and #summerheat.
The video racked up over 1.3million views with commenters desperate to know where they could buy the sensor for themselves.
One person wrote: “I need this. Where can I get this.”
Another commented: “Thank you! Just bought one, I had no idea. I have a nest in my apartment.”
A third said: “We have this problem. Our thermostat is in the family room.
“In the winter when we have a fire going the bedrooms upstairs are freezing!”
A fourth added: “Amazing I didn’t know this.”
