Here is an idea if one of your New Year’s resolutions is to turn down the heat when you go out and turn it back up as you are coming back home! My husband is all excited about this product and wrote this:

The Nest is an energy-saving thermostat–and an example of brilliant product design. It is pleasing to look at, has a silky solid feel and intuitive setup. The display is off until it detects that your hand is about to adjust it, when it turns a soft orange.

It is wi-fi enabled, so you can set the room temperature with your iPhone or laptop from anywhere. You can program the settings, or let it automatically learn your patterns.

Even the packaging is crisp, down to the ergonomic small screwdriver they provide. We installed the Nest in ten minutes.
