Mine doesn't have a hold function but that still wouldn't help what I
want to achieve. I want to be able to easily drop it down about 10
degrees for about 8 hours if I know I'm going to be out about 10 hours
then have it gradually increase back up to the normal setting for the
next 2 hours so it's back to normal by the time I'm home. Does a
thermostat like that exist? This is mostly for weekends where it's
impossible to program because I don't know if I'm going to be home or
out that day.


Depends on whether or not you want to include "easy". Obviously
if it is programmable you can make changes as needed to the programming.
Don't know if the hassle of doing this is worth it.
