I have another thread asking about some HVAC wiring. In case anyone was curious, I was asking because I'm considering getting the Filtrete wifi thermostat (3m-50) that's $100 at HD.

The thermostat connects to your wifi. It then tunnels through the net to radiothermostat.com. You register for a free account at radiothermostat.com and register your thermostat. Once you're up and running, there are Android and iPhone/iPad apps to control your thermostat whether you are on vacation or sitting on the john thinking you need to adjust the temp.

I'm a bit leery of having my thermostat on the net, but what the hell.

I've got a buddy that's got 2 and has been running them for a while and likes them. He says that he can see when his baby momma has adjusted the temp and sometimes adjusts it around just to screw with her. He thinks that's pretty funny.

I've got a decent programmable thermostat now. If something happens or I decide I don't like it, I can always swap back.
