You can also use a 24v power supply and run the wire right up the wall for booster power--I do that in my apartment since the management frowns on permanent wiring changes.

I've now got it hooked up to the remote control in our family room so you can be lazy and play with the temperature from the couch - cute. Unfortunately, because it needs to charge its battery it draws power off the heating circuit to the furnace. When the furnace isn't on, it can't charge. So, it does things like short cycle the furnace to try and charge its battery which is obviously not good. The fix is well documented on the Internet, but, I don't have a spare wire in my thermostat cable to implement said fix. I now need to open my basement ceiling and fish a cable with additional pairs up to it in order to have the toy work right.
