Bought a $60 smart thermostat that needed a C-wire my old house doesn't have

I didn't check the wiring before buying and ended up spending another $40 on a power adapter kit to make it work. Has anyone else gotten burned by assuming your place is ready for smart home stuff?

Ugh that C wire thing is such a trap lol. I almost made the same mistake with my Nest.

Feel your pain. Almost bought the wrong adapter myself.
