NEST - The Learning Thermostat

Technology never ceases to amaze me these days. Here is a new thermostat that will learn your daily rhythms and begin adjusting itself.

The Nest Learning Thermostat will sense when you leave the house and go into energy conservation mode. The best part? You will be able to control it from your laptop or smart phone.

This was created by a team of ex-Apple employees. Packed with technology it has a color LCD display and WI-FI support. This thermostat learns your preferences and habits and adjusts to them. It will also factor in the outside temperature and weather to make your inside temperature comfortable according to what you are used to. When you leave the house it will reduce your energy consumption by automatically adjusting the use of heating and/or air conditioning while you are gone to save energy.

When you return it will sense this and return your settings to the proper numbers. It takes minutes to install and the cost far outweighs the benefits.
