Honeywell Thermostat

Our old thermostat quit doing its job effectively, so I picked up a new one from Lowe’s today for around $50.00. The selling point for me was that it was accurate within +/- 1 degree on holding its temperature. I also got a model that was programmed for a 5-1-1, which means programmable separately for weekdays and weekends. Why don’t they just say that?

Anyway, the unit came with a mini-cd, so being naturally curious what kind of information Honeywell would provide on their “interactive” CD, I loaded it up.

The presentation is pretty good, typical of corporate product Flash demos, but what really impressed me were the interactive simulators for each of the Honeywell thermostats models. This must have taken a huge amount of programming on the developer’s part and it is buried somewhat in the rest of the presentation. You can actually go and program / operate each thermostat model. I uploaded it to my site just to show you. I hope I don’t get into trouble by Honeywell for doing so, either. Check it out here.
