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

Lets remember that this is by far a vast improvement to 21 W. North St. where you'd arrive during the winter and its 35 degrees inside the space and it would take the Perkins room hours to get to 60 degrees. The thermostat could keep the new space at a low enough temp to save money when no one is
