Tim,

Sadly, look at the degree day data with the dumb and smart thermostat. Yes, you paid 5% less with the smart one, but the heating load, as measured by degree days, was 11.5% lower in the interval when the smart one was in use.

I support programable thermostats for the right application, but I not sure this data proves your point.
