Been keeping my therostat at 72°F all winter. Moved it up to 73°F couple of days ago and couldn't sleep at night because I was sweaty. Guess I need to monkey with the setback settings so it is warmer during the day and 72 at night.

Didn't want to mess with the setback stuff so it wouldn't try to run the heater when it stayed cool during the day. Guess will just leave it on 72 until it starts getting consistently warmer during the day and I needs some AC to keep from getting sweaty.

Wish I could monkey with the thermostat from my computer or iPhone. But the thermostat is supplied from my electric company so it will receives radio signals to save money during summer. It does a thing where they send a signal, then it pre-cools my house 4 degrees starting at 11am then turns the AC off from 2pm to 7pm unless the house gets hotter than 2 to 4 degrees above what I have it set for. Afternoon temp depends on how hot it gets. Electricity is cheaper until it gets hot, then from 2 t0 7 it is more expensive depending on how hot it gets. It maintains the warmer temp until 7pm. At 7pm it drops to my night setting. They call it smart thermostat.

It's interesting that I don't really notice the warmer temps during the day and I am here all day. My house does take a while for the indoor temps to rise and still feels cooler when it is hotter inside when it is even hotter outside. Looking at my bills with the smart temps my summer electric bills are about the same as my winter electric bills. Looks like it saves about $100 a month with the smart thermostat.

Still which I could monkey with it from my computer and phone though.
