If you are talking about thermostats.com the cheaper unit is for single
stage systems and the model 3000 will work with both single and two stage
systems.

I went to the website, but couldn't find out a lot of information about
them. For instance, I'm not really certain what the differences are between
the two options. Do you know of any podcasts out there that demonstrate
either thermostat and the app?
Thanks,
Ari

As mentioned it is a Wi-Fi connected thermostat and it has an app. It is
like the Nest thermostat, a piece of hardware and an app to control it,
just less expensive and from a different company. I Have had one of these
at home and 2 at my retail business which has separate furnaces on the
main floor and first floor and they've been working perfectly for 3 or 4
years now. I am not saying that Nest is no good, but just mentioned
www.RadioThermostat.com as an alternative and one that was one of the
first and I know that in the States you can buy the thermostats at Home
Depot for around $100; at least I read this in some posts from list
members who said so.

I'll have to check out that other thermostat you mentioned. What makes it
different from the ones I mentioned? Can it interface with my iPhone, like
the Nest one, or is it just a standalone unit, like the one from Talking
Thermostats?
Thanks,
Ari

Hi Ari,
You may also want to consider the Wi-Fi thermostat from
www.RadioThermostat.com. They are less expensive than the Nest ones and
also work very well.
As for what a thermostat does, it maintains whatever temperature you set
it to and if you have air conditioning this also means starting your air
conditioner when it gets too hot. Let's say you live in a place that gets
pretty hot in the summer and you have air conditioning, but it also may
get cold in the winter requiring you to heat. If you set your thermostat
to 70 Fahrenheit and it is super hot in the summer, the thermostat will
cause your air conditioner to kick in if it gets a degree or two above
670 degrees, once the temperature in the house is back down to around 69
or 70 it will turn off. The same happens with your furnace in the winter.
If you set it to 70 degrees and it's only 40 outside, the thermostat
maintains the 70 degrees by causing the furnace to start up if it gets
too cold.
Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Thermostat confusion.
So, after we move, I'm thinking of getting either one of those
thermostats from talkingthermostats.com or a Nest thermostat. I tried
googling this one, but I don't seem to be getting a proper answer. I
don't really understand how thermostats work. Not mechanically, but
practically. What does setting the temperature of the thermostat to 70
degrees actually mean? And is the answer to that question different when
you're talking about air conditioning versus heating?
Thanks,
Ari
