Maybe that's because the isn't much room for temperature innovation?

How about things like the entire dataset that we have sent to Nest over the years? We only get access to the last 10 days worth, which is absolutely useless. I need year-over-year data, not just 1.5 weeks ago. Seriously, do these guys even use a Nest? Why have such an arbitrary restriction of data?

Turns out setting it to 72deg is a pretty effective strategy!

I prefer a more artisanal 71 degrees. Fahrenheit, naturally.

You both must be made out of money. I set mine to 65-68, depending on the time of day.

There are places in the US where it would cost money to set it to 65 and it's cheaper to set it to 77 (cough Phoenix cough).

We typically leave the thermostat at 79 or 80, and even then that's several hundred a month in AC.

If there's one thing I've learned it's not to cheap out on common life luxuries. I've actually gotten rid of any friends who thought it was worth the sacrifice of huddling with a blanket to save $50 a month. Especially when I was over their homes. Fuck that. Don't tout your own incapacities as wisdom.

Mine stays at 77, any lower and the fan never shuts off.

Why? Well, Florida. And the fact that I'm on the 2nd floor of a multi-tenant building with poor insulation. The struggle is real
