    I get e-mails working at Motorola that have that same effect on me. Now I have a picture that embodies my experience!

    There is a disturbing amount of brown in this scene. The shag carpet is brown. The wallpaper is brown. The suit is brown. The veneer on the steel desk is brown.

    @Kaiser-Machead: They'd have to make me a plaque, to start. Maybe the plaque should smooth plastic and be easy to hose down, as my name would not be what would be splattered on the wall if my mail came in the form of Wizard Jizz.

    I bet that office smells of ozone and mildewed cigarettes. And pencils.

    Probably worth pointing out that this only does any good if your heating/cooling system has multiple, separately controllable zones. For anyone's house that is 'globally' heated/cooled this product means very little, despite it sounding pretty awesome.

    I could see this causing untold fights of epic proportions at my house. My wife likes to heat the house like it is the tropics, and I like it at a nice, comfortable 69 degrees during the winter.


    The thermostate is downstairs, away from the bedroom, so I can always lower it before I go to bed. If she had that damn remote, she would just change it back between the time it took me to set it and to get upstairs to bed.


    Great product, but epic fail for my household.

    Does it read the temperature from the remote location? I've installed several systems similar to this and find that generally having a remote can be useful but it's one more thing to put batteries in. This looks like an update to the Vision pro line that Honneywell puts out, which is a good thing. I have a commercial version installed at home and like it for the most part.

    Just added a link to the three-piece kit. You can shop around for a better deal.

    @Jason Chen: Three-piece? Does that include a side of mashed potatoes and gravy?


    This does look like a great product, but how well does it tie in with whole house automation, if at all? Or is this more intended for those who don't want to do complete automation, and just want a taste of the flavor?

    Any chance of getting some screen shots of the program menu/UI? I'd like to see how easy it is to set the "phases(sleep,wake,work,home)" of the day, and the temps.

    The only problem I have with color touchscreens is picturing my cats seeing it blink or something, then turning something on/off by accident with their paws.

    @smcallah: You obviously do not have cats. They can leap a fair distance. Especially if they see something they want.



    and you couple that ability with their limited brain pan:

    and nothing on a wall is safe.

    @Darrone: I think my boring LCD model set me back sixty bucks or so, so the four hundred does not surprise me at all. It is a great deal, and you should definitely buy one Darrone, and invite me over to your pad to try it out. (My kids would never let me have four hundred smackers, so I have to envy what Giz commenter's get to buy.)
