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.
