> The thermostat algorithm combines demand-response with weather and time-of-use rate plans to reduce monthly utility bills through pre-cooling and pre-heating.

In addition to this, have you considered also offering a simple model? I have very bad experience with heating systems lecturing me about the outside temperature. It is always a game of coercion to get them to do what I want.

I want no outside thermostat, no connection to the Internet. I want a single knob to set the room temperature. If I set it to 25°C after a long walk in winter, I want it to be 25°C within half an hour.
