Manufacturers Are Turning up the Heat on Thermostat Intelligence
I thought programmable thermostats were a brilliant invention when I
bought my first one back in 2003. That’s when I moved out of my Chicago

consumers have come to appreciate the convenience they can offer. For
example, combined with a mobile app, they can take the place of the
complicated timers you might have used to turn lights on and off when
you’ve been away.
