Re: After looking at all the smart thermostats...
Absolutely no reason why a 'smart' thermostat should be connected to the internet / cloud.
I understand having a cleaner interface - one of the places I lived in had an individual control for every room, on/off at certain times depending on the day of the week, 'vacation' low or off settings etc, but even setting it up once and forever was annoyingly tedious.
Is it beyond the wit of man to have a system that can do all that, with a usable interface??
