Programmable Thermostats


My recent incisive remarks on the annoying difficulties of changing the settings on the myriad of digital clocks I have because of Daylight Savings applies to digital thermostats as well.  They are so non-intuitive that one must keep the manual taped to the wall right next to them to effect changes.

I thought I was technologically on top of things when I got mine.  Once through the admittedly tedious process of programming it, I only had to consult the manual twice a year to remind myself how to change the damn clock for Daylight Savings.

I just read that the government even tumbled to the conclusion that so few owners can figure out how to program them, they were removed from their list of energy saving devices.  They no doubt merely had to survey their own office employees to discover this, but kudos anyway.
