Making a Learning Thermostat

Posted by samzenpus on from the hot-house-hack dept.

OzPeter writes "As reported in WA Today, Tony Fadell of iPod fame has been using Nest Labs to design and build a thermostat that learns how you live in your house by following how you manually change the temperature. Once you have taught it how to behave, it then can schedule temperature changes that suit your lifestyle, and help you cut down on energy costs."

    Don't let women use this thing. It will only learn two settings: the maximum temperature setting and the lowest temperature setting. At least that's how the females in my life use them.
