Saw a new thermostat that has a pretty neat feature. It monitors indoor and outdoor temp, also indoor and outdoor humidity, and takes temps and humidity into account to adjust the temp so it always feels like the temp you have it set on.

When I was laid up sick sometimes I would get hot or cold and when I checked the thermostat it was maintaining the 74°F I have it set on. It's a fancy Set-back Theremostat that can run the temperature up and down according to a schedule. Did some testing and monitoring and found it is actually more energy efficient to just leave the thermostat set on one temp all the time. So figure it might make the house more comfortable, but am wary that it might run my bills up jockeying the temp all the time. Maybe the weather would change slow enough that it wouldn't impact the cost like running the temps up and down 5 or 6 degrees every day.
