Programmable WiFi Thermostats

Let’s say you’re coming home from work late one day so you want to save energy while you’re away. You can change the temperature in your house from the office and set it so it cools down when you’re on your way home.
Staying an extra day on vacation? Adjust the settings from anywhere so you’re not running up your energy costs while you’re away.
Cookout, Not In
Those ovens heat up your home so your system works harder when you’re cooking a big meal. It’s beautiful outside: why not grill instead? Grilling uses less of your home’s energy and doesn’t make your system work overtime while you’re preparing for your family.
