We Need a Really Smart Thermostat »
Here in Charlotte, we're in one of those times of year where it's cold in the morning and warm in the afternoon. I'm not talking a few degrees. I'm talking low 40s in the morning so you freeze your little toes off while waiting for the bus, and upper 70s in the afternoon, so you want to wear shorts and a t-shirt. The most annoying thing is the thermostat.
We have one of those "smart" thermostats, but I still have to switch it between heating and cooling. Even our car has a set-it-and-forget-it option, where it just keeps things the same temperature, turning on the heat or the air as needed. Surely something like this could be devised (or is already available) for the home.

Just took a look at the products for the thermostat I have (no central AC so mine only does heating) and they have a Digital thermostat that does auto-changeover.

Looks interesting indeed. Only place online (nearby) that carries it is up the road a bit, I might have to see if they'll sell direct - or see if someone locally can get one, or a comparable model. At least they exist. Thanks!
