A/c thermostat keeps getting touched by mistake.

Hi All.
I have a led thermostat on the wall next to the bathroom door. More than once someone has touched the touch screen and have turned off the a/c, and one time changed it from a/c to heat. That really sucked. Its a ยท ?Dometic led touchscreen thermostat. Any ideas to keep this from happening. I am considering a lock cover.Most of them are really big and I don't really need to lock it.Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

    Would a piece of paper taped over it prevent it from activating? Lift it up to change settings.

    paper would be too thin. Maybe a piece of cardboard would work.

    I would get a thermostat plastic cover. Anything else could hamper the operation of the thermostat (insulating it from hot or cold). Or as ductape suggested move it higher on the wall.

    How about talk to that person called 'someone'.
    Just keep your greasy hands off the wall already.

    Mine is in the same place. No issues ever.

    I think I will just tell them to keep their HANDS OFF OF THE THERMOSTAT. i WILL PUT A RED LABEL OVER THE thermostat. If that doesn't work I will look into a cover.

    A tamper proof plastic Thermostat cover is what you need.

    Amazon, Ebay, HomeDepot and others will have them. Easy to install over the existing thermostat.
