I was logged out of Honeywell's Total Connect Comfort site (remote thermostat control) at the same time FB logged me out. I'm not using OAUTH logins anywhere.

I had recently changed SSID and the thermostat wasn't accepting remote commands. I thought maybe the SSID change had broken it and had just deleted the device from the TCC site to try adding it back when I was logged out.

It's funny timing because earlier today I was telling an employee how we don't like to have our maintenance overlap with vendor's maintenance/repair window because when something breaks while we are making changes we can't always tell who is at fault.
