This is one thing that I have wanted to do for quite some time, but could never find the round tuit to spend on doing it. The ability to turn down the thermostat when I leave, but still have an acceptably warm house when I arrive home is going to be much more pleasant, and letting the thermostat automatically turn itself down during the night but still be warm enough to be (more) willing to get out of from beneath the blankets will make my day start more smoothly as well.
