What kind of thermostat do you use and why do you use that type?

I use a wifi 7 day programmable thermostat. Its a cyberstat. Pretty good flexibility. I also believe its the cheapest wifi thermostat out there at $80 shipped.

Here is my install and review thread: http://ecorenovator.org/forum/produc...on-review.html

My wife works retail, so her schedule is always different. Once a week I reprogram it to her new schedule. It takes about 1 minute via a web interface that I can access via any computer or smart phone with an internet connection. I can go away for the weekend, drop the temperature way down and on the way home turn it up before I get there. It doesn't have all the fancy functionality of some of the other higher end thermostats, but it suits me pretty well. I do really wish it had a temperature logging feature though.

I have the 2nd gen nest thermostat.

I use the filtrate Model: 3M-50 a friend gave me one and I picked the other one up off ebay for cheap.

I have an inexpensive Roberts "knock off" rebranded for WaterFurnace that works with a WaterFurnace two stage geothermal heat pump. I work out of the home and setbacks do not work well with geothermal so I just "set it and forget it".

I sure would like a thermostat that integrates relative humidity and temperature into a perception temperature. For example, 72 F with 30% humidity in winter feels OK, but that combination feels frigid in summer.

The dewpoint lowering of a geothermal unit dries out the air rather spectacularly in summer and we need to set the thermostat to 78F.

That would be a really nice feature. I'm really not aware of any product that currently does this, but there has to be one out there.

The Honeywell Lryic Thermostat has this feature and geo fencing for auto away. Info on the feature Click me

This model also has geo fencing and a open API so you control it to do what you want.

Do you use the geo fencing feature?

Not sure who your asking but I do and it works rather well.

I work in industrial automation, instrumentation and process control.
So of course I have a manual thermostat.
