You stuck a cheap LED strip under your TV, plugged it into a USB, and got a sad purple glow that flickered whenever the screen changed scenes.

Just a blinking message and a house that’s getting hotter by the minute. A Honeywell thermostat flashing Cool On is one of the most common and most misunderstood thermostat behaviours. In most cases, it’s completely normal: a built-in 5-minute delay that protects your compressor from short cycling. However, if the blinking lasts longer than 5 minutes or your AC never kicks in, you’re dealing with a real problem that…
