For example, during the day while no one is home but the cats, we keep
the temperature set at 80°F. I arrive home at 5:00 p.m. and would
like to have the temperature at 75°F. when I arrive.
Rather than my having to "guess" how long it might take to reduce the
temperature by 5 degrees, is there a thermostat capable of figuring
that out?

Hi,
Most programmable 'stat has that ability. It learns the temp rise/fall
pattern after you program it. One example is Honeywell Vision Pro line.
Micro-processor within is little smart. Take a look at manual which you
can download .


not even that fancy. I have a trane one that I believe is a relabeled
Honeywell, but not Vision Pro. Seems to work well; at least I've never
come home to a sweltering house or awakened cold.
