Thermostat Manager is software that lets users micromanage thermostat settings.
A network cable (or Wi-Fi) is routed to your home network for supporting models of thermostats. With Thermostat Manager you can actually use energy savings strategies if you work the same different days alternating weeks
(M,T,F,S,U, then W,R).
You will also be able to select from the pull down the "home" comfort zone & "away" comfort zone that will turn on the heat if the temp drops to low OR the ac if the temp gets too high.
With a password, you can log on to an IP address & use a temporary override screen.
If something like this already exists, I'd be very happy for a link. (If it does I'm hoping it's under the $300 range).

I couldn't find a specific mention of ac/heat control on X-10's site, but I could only stand the pop ups for so long. |
|
|
Programmable thermostats are quite baked; as is X-10 capable ones. |
|
|
The only programmable thermostats I've been able to find are based on a normal work week. 7 day, 5/2 day, etc. |
|

I think many medical field workers may have an alternating schedule that would require reprogramming the thermostat on a weekly basis, Thus the reason I haven't bought one yet. |
|
|
(no need to worry, It's my wife that works in the medical field, not me.) |
|
|
I was thinking of this for use in the Home. |

[Pa`ve], Those lock boxes can be opened with 2 properly deformed paperclips. |

Thanks, [Shz]. I was unable to find one the many times I've looked. |

This reminds me of temping at the BT DQ exchange in Aberystwyth. The thermostat on the heating/air conditioning system was programmable...
... but only by modem from the Shrewsbury office. |

|
Unfortunately, Whilst Aber DQ was a 24/7 operation, the Shrewsbury office was 9-5 M-F only. |
