Come on for pete sake, turning on the heat when its cold is the job of a thermostat. They've been doing it since the 30s, and became programmable since the late 70s. Don't act so impressed that your thermostat actually worked.
You've paid in excess of 15 times what you needed to pay for program-ability, only to have it be totally dependent on the internet!
There's one born every minute.
Actually, I have a time base setback thermostat circa 1930's.
Actually - no it's the FCC (you had me worried)

BTW - This is just derivative of the toner sales phone calls companies used to get. They would ask you for the model # of your photocopy machine and then send you over priced toner - that they swore you ordered.
I told him to go F%$$%%% himself.
and for one of the lower your credit card rates - I asked for his phone number so I could report him to the FCC - that shut him up.
Aka Klipshhorns - Great sound - very very efficient. I was able to bounce my wife's good china with an appropriate Pink Floyd song and 5 watts of power.
They didn't a great job for me in NYC - 8 workers 2 hours to tap (4) 1-1/2-6 holes in a 1/4" steel plate.
Or sending a different electrician every day to the job site - so everyone in the union will have work.
Or threatening to slice my photographs if I hung them in my trade show booth.
Or cutting all of the wires at the fuse panel on a project my grandfather was running. (this is really nasty because you have to re-wire everything).
The worker who made the BMW works in South Carolina and isn't unionized. He/She makes a very good wage and doesn't have to put up with all of the union garbage.
We are an XP shop except for the engineering work stations which are windows 7 - I can't see us going to windows 8 every, our legacy CRM and MRP systems will not work. We still use a Windows 2000 domain- which we are virtualizing.
and my workstationis Vista:(
You can passivate stainless steel also to improve it's corrosion properties. But it will rust in salt water.
Hard coat anodize (over aluminum) is a better choice - I don't think it will ever degrade.
In Massachusetts businesses can be fined 1,000s of dollars for not having a written data breach plan, but the state is exempt from the rules. A few years back the unemployment office released personal information because of a virus installed on computers used by clients. There was no consequence for the state - and their response was - we can't do anything about it.
Southern California was a different frequency than the rest of the US until the 1930's. The US goverement had to hire clock makers to switch out the AC motors - so the clock would keep time
and for medium size industrial facilities 480V - and yes some but not all are controlled by VFD;s.
But you aren't going to run a facility on DC - it' easy and inexpensive to step voltage up and down with a transformer about 1K for a 35HP motor - if you were using dc a dc-dc inverter would not be as efficient, cost effective or (this is a big one) reliable.

Just wondering how many people realize that the 60HZ line frequency is eventually tied to this standard ?
This bug caused my Windows PBX to fail.
Nor would the under $20 fully programmable, been around since dirt, standard as the day is long, conventional wall thermostat.

There is nothing really unique about this - the concept has been around since WWII. It just wasn't reliable. Read about Operation Aphrodite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Aphrodite

I live in "Medfield" and it's a unique town name. Members of the town have been trying to figure out how it got named.
I was hoping someone would know ?
