Many thermostats, including at least one Internet brand, are battery powered. This is partly because line voltage isn’t available and partly because safely converting line voltage to a thermostat’s needs takes a large converter that costs money, requires extra wiring, and complicates electrical safety. But too many networking conversations can run the battery down quickly. If the thermostat is connected to the Internet, an attacker could run the battery down simply by repeatedly querying the thermostat’s status.
