The idea of a programmable thermostat is that it warms it up for you before you arrive. Tying it into the open / closed sign is the equivalent of buying a remote start for your car and turning it on as soon as you get in the car. It's 15 degrees out, and it would be really frustrating to have to wait an hour every time you come in the space for it to be a reasonable temperature. I understand saving money, and something like a Nest will do that, but you have to expect some costs as far as heating, and be a ble to budget enough to keep your patrons warm and comfortable. Just an outside opinion.
