There are two bluetooth connections from your phone, one for the inside speakers and the other for the rear deck. Simply use your phone and look for "STR-DH590" for the inside and "Fosi" for the outside.
The thermostats are zoned on the main level. This means there are three areas that can be set. First the main level designated as "zone 1" on the thermostat, next is the main level master as "zone 2" and the third is the basement which should remain off. The upstairs rooms are controlled by a separate unit in the upstairs hallway. The temperaure shown is the temperature of the upstairs suite, not the hallway.
When the weather is calm, the cove to the north at the last rocks before the state park is the calmest water and protected by the rocks. We love to swim here (and catch crabs). You can walk out for 20 yards just waist deep and bask in the warm water. Occasionally you will see our local eagle watching you!
There is also a sand birm about 100' off shore that runs the length of the beach. When the water is shallow, it can become ankle deep.
You Tube has a good video.
The barbecue gas is using tanks below the left cabinet. Here is a good video on how to change the gas.
We provide the portable gas boiler and stainless steel pot for your convenience for cooking crabs are making a soup. Here is a video to learn to light it. We exercise caution using this boiler, but it's provided many years of good crabs for the family. Oh and please use the provided paper for the dining room table if you are going to enjoy a crab feast. This helps us protect our table. No hammering on the table please!
This house is unique and designed as a very efficient home. In fact one of the most efficient homes on the eastern shore! It uses a whole house fresh air system. That means each bathroom exhausts vapors and steam automatically and replaces it into the rooms and common areas with fresh air. This air is triple filtered and has a HEPA rated filter for the incoming air from the outside. Some people say this ensures very restful sleep as the air is always recycled from the outside fresh air.
The light switches are all "smart" switches. This allows us to dim the lights in the evening hours and provide scenes like you saw when you entered the house for the first time. To make the light in any room the brightest, simply double click the top of the rocker and it will brighten the dimmer to the highest setting.
