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.

Hi.
I loved Vision Pro 8000 series. Now I only have one out at my cabin.
I moved onto wireless 'stats for other places I own.
