Sounds cool. I just don't know that a learning thermostat is right for us. For now, I'm willing to stick with a programmable.

In regard to privacy, that was one of my big concerns with such a service. However, the Nest | The Learning Thermostat | Privacy Statement is pretty clear about that they share your information with no one.

I'll save the extra $150/per (I only need one, fortunately) and go with the Filtrete programmable.

I read the Nest privacy statement and last night read the radiothermostat privacy statement. They are essentially identical. - We have certain info about you that we have to have because you have an account. We won't share that with anyone (unless you give us permission). We'll anonymize other information and share that with various people, but don't worry, it definitely won't include any personally identifiable info. - or something along those lines.
