''Discover'' their opt-in deal working as agreed?
Want the thermostat to allow the AC to run despite your opt-in deal?
Put something hot on it, like a boullotte ( is there an English word for it? A jiggly water container ).
Want it to allow heating? Do the same with ice-cold water bouillotte.
The point is to trick the thermostat to read a temperature in the range it still allows AC or heating to run.
If you deal allows totally cutting AC or heating regardless of temperature, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU AGREE TO THAT. Get out of that contract ASAP.
Hot Water bottle?
Whatever you call this thing. ( linked pic )
Water bladder perhaps. Extremely uncommon to name it either way.
Yeah, that's a hot water bottle.
Yeah, that's what we call a hot water bottle.
