Interesting pics anc, what kind of bug is that
I thought it might have been an Assassin Bug. I think they look similar.Its a wheel bug. It's a predatory insect that apparently kills harmful caterpillars and the like. Mostly harmless to humans until you mishandle them, and they give a nasty poke and inject you with saliva full of bacteria which is painful and gets infected.
I just took the picture and was careful not to upset it.

I'd still squash 'em.Leaf leg bugs.
First time dealing with them.
Normally a house won’t change temps that much in course of a day. But if it does what is the issue ? Would rather have heat or a/c kick in and keep temp in proper range than not.I can't imagine it automatically being able to have the heat on in the morning and then a/c in the afternoon. i would go nuts.
Our house has that big of a swing. Tri level problems. Southern exposure and poor 70's insulation. The upstairs and downstairs can easily be 10° differentNormally a house won’t change temps that much in course of a day. But if it does what is the issue ?

We have whole house humidification, dehumidification, air purification, etc. We both have allergies. Our house is never really “open”, closed & all on auto. We love it, never touch the thermostat or other settings year round. If you want to do manually/seperately, heat only, cool only, all off, adjust different humidity, etc. you can but why ?Set everything at proper points and forget it. Not saying wrong to do it otherwise but we see no need/benefit.
To each their own. Ain’t America great ?!
Ours is surprisingly efficient I think. Bedford stone over cinderblock exterior walls, one-story ranch, big picture window with a southern exposure (we do sometimes close the light blocking curtains when it's stupid hot out though). But I think the stone/cinderblock helps keep the temps fairly regulated in moderate temps at least.Our house has that big of a swing. Tri level problems. Southern exposure and poor 70's insulation.
