Maybe I am missing something. Here's the goal:

WEEK 1 Program: M-F heat house by 6 am. Weekend, do nothing.
WEEK 2 Program: M-F heat house by 7:30 am. Weekend, do nothing.
Then alternate Week 1 and Week 2 programs.



I don't see enough differance to bother with it. Just run your week 1
program all the time.

Heat the house for an hour and a half extra in the morning? Easy for
/you/ to say! I am a light sleeper and easily woken up in the morning --
something I wish didn't happen. I envy folks who can slumber on and on
in the morning, undisturbed by helicopters and cannon fire. Unlike me -
the sound of the furnace firing up wakes me, AND a house warm enough for
wandering around in, wearing pajamas is too warm (to me) for sleeping.

Ok! I did not see a problem as our family's schedule changes daily, but the
stat stays the same in regards to the program. Your best bet maybe to wire
in two thermostats, and enable/disable them with a switch.
Greg


You could also switch your thermostat into and out of daylight savings time
every week. The DST button shifts the whole schedule by an hour. Of course,
then it will show the wrong time half of the time, and you will have to reset
the clock rather than use the DST button when the DST shift really comes.
This still isn't automatic, but might get you closer to what you want. Not a
very good solution, but I think you'll have a hard time finding a 2 week
thermostat.

I like the way you think. With my vision and your evil genius, we could take
over the world!

Today's Deep Thought:

Can I trade this job for what's behind door #2?

This is Turtle.

After listening to Gary , Zepher, Grego, and others here about the two
thermostat set up. I used a Robert Shaw electronic 365 day clock timer that will
turn one thing off and turn on another one on. then vise versa. You can program
it for the whole year and even made changes during holiday time and then go back
to setting of the switching system. You could use this clock to switch between
the 2 programiable thermostats like the 5/2 or 7 day type and set each
thermostat for that weeks activity. Now your looking at about $300.00+ for the
clock and two thermostats. I think the clocks run about $150+ .

There is something wrong here for I'm thinking of the feed back through the
other dead thermostat when it tring to close connection for it to run with the
24 volt voltage also. The 24 volts will try to back up through the off themostat
unless he could turn it off when the other one was the master.
