[QUOTE="H D, post: 1016443, member: 68494"] Thanks, that is helpful. I've been reading similar stuff regarding Honeywell versus the hippest new, more expensive stuff. That makes it easier. Now just have to decide between a couple models. It's either a regular 7 day programmable and the fancy wifi one. I can't think of why I would want to control my thermostat remotely, either, but the price difference isn't incredible. I'm not very tech savvy but want to get better and thought this might be a simple stepping stone. I just really don't know if I'd use it. That's why I also was interested in other home automation stuff.: a hobby/interest with observable results (convenience/energy efficiency) and doesn't cost a fortune or ideally saves money. I'll spare you my gardening and pond stuff until I fail a few times and learn something but that project is for next spring and will require some automation. Rich, I've been looking more into Wi-Fi camera systems and have found some interesting stuff. Most are really reasonably priced as well. There's just a lot to sift through to get through the junk.
