The patents are related to, among other things, simplified methods for operating and programming a thermostat including the use of natural language, user interfaces that facilitate programming and energy savings, a thermostat’s inner design, an electric circuit used to divert power from the user’s home electrical system to provide power to a thermostat, and controlling a thermostat with information stored in a remote location.
Translation: we’re kind of jealous of the Nest (pictured above) thermostat.
That’s not surprising after taking a look at Honeywell’s thermostat catalog.
