thermostat control (data logging)

[Russ]

Hi: Is there a thermostat available that will log activity and can be downloaded to a computer? To log when the heat pump is turned on, fan on etc. vs. time of day.

thanks, russ

First off.. to the OP...

Russ... this is not something you could buy and hook up unless you like tinkering A LOT.

Now... Dido... thanks for the link. Interesting... and the stuff the guy builds is very reasonable. It just needs assembled in a package.

I've often thought... and Paul and I have discussed... that products of this type need to be developed and marketed in the consumer sector.

So... I'll ask you HVAC folks... what's the price point for the following:

A T-stat like this with logging, and with connectivity to a PC through the following options:

wireless G

Ethernet wired

Schedule upload/download via a PC client

PC client energy analysis

Paul, you know this would be a cinch to program in VB... if the Tstat is talking...

So how much would people pay?

Dunno... They pay $350 for a VisionPro 8000......installed.
