My wife works days, and some nights, and weekends occasionally... so programming a set thermostat is difficult. For now, we just set it to a low-energy setting and just don't touch it. That we acclimate to the temp, and wear the appropriate clothing. Too much up/down on the temps drives everyone crazy, and the furniture is too cold to the touch, if the temp was set low while we were away. We still save oodles. I'll check into these new thermostats that might detect human activity. Unfortunately, we have three levels to our house, with three thermostats. The basement could be "old-fashioned" with two smart thermostats on the main level and upstairs (with bedrooms). Still might be easier and more comfortable to just set one temp for the season and roll with it, based on our particular family's needs/schedule. - Doc Rings Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:30:05 +0100
