Maybe that's the point. Not sure how illegal it is for the blue team to call at 6 am claiming to be the red team, or vis versa.
According to the developers of Nest, 90% of programmable thermostats aren't programmed properly. Maybe you're in the 10% and wouldn't benefit. That doesn't mean it's not a good product for many of the 90%.
So according to the people with a solution, there's a problem that needs fixing! I sincerely doubt their numbers. Really it's not that hard, and the last one I bought had a energy star setting system built in. I tweeked it a bit, but I could have installed it, and just left it. Further, anybody whose capable of installing one of these things can program it. Same goes for the wonderthingie, well except I can get a programmable thermostat for $50, while this is 5x the price. Maybe people who can't program a thermostat, or install one can't do math either....
