The wireless thermostat started working, & the temperature was adjusted to the desired level
Bob lived in a small town, but he was a tech-savvy person & loved to live in a smart home. He had installed a wireless thermostat in his lake house to make his life easier. Everything was going well until one day, the wireless thermostat stopped working. Bob tried everything he could know of to get it working again, however nothing seemed to work. He tried resetting the device, restarting his router, & even tried calling the local maintenance provider, however all in vain. He was getting angry & was about to give up when he remembered his neighbor who was a tech wizard. He decided to go to his neighbor & ask for help, and when he reached his neighbor’s house, he explained the problem with the wireless thermostat. His neighbor listened patiently & then told him, “Bob, have you tried talking to it?” Bob was taken aback by the suggestion & thought his neighbor was joking, however his neighbor was serious. Bob decided to give it a try, & to his surprise, it worked. The wireless thermostat started working, & the temperature was adjusted to the desired level. Bob was amazed & asked his neighbor, “How did you know that would work?” His neighbor replied with a smile, “Bob, you never know, periodically devices just need to hear a friendly voice.” From that day, Bob typically talked to his wireless thermostat whenever it was acting up, & it never failed to respond. He became a legend in the neighborhood for his ability to make the wireless thermostat work just by talking to it.
