No, it's the exact opposite. It's the thermostat that babysits YOU!

So, you'll be able to make it snow in your neighbors house over your iPhone!

Frankly, I'd love to automate our thermostats. But I doubt the nest would work on our main system. We have a zoned damper system with 6 thermostats (five on the main floor and one in the basement). Switching between cooling and heating is a huge pain because you have to reset each and every thermostat.

I'd pay some money for a thermostat system that could intelligently control the dampers.

I have a Trane thermostat as part of my Vera 2 home automation system. When I leave the house, I can put in a special code on the deadbolt that tells the heater to turn off, and turn it back on to the usual programming whenever somebody unlocks the door. Or in the morning, I can grab my iPod from the nightstand and tweak the setting from the app.

This one is still working fine for us:

Ha, ha, ha ha…! :cursin:

(We're sorry, but now that you are running Lion, the Apple usb modem that you bought from us to use with your MacPro…? it will no longer work because it is not 64 bit)

Lion? Apple, you got to be kidding me!
