I hate that this sounds like I'm arguing, because I'm not. I just find this discussion interesting. If the device learns over time from grandma turning the dial up and down, does that not create strange data for the device to figure out? Take your example, grandma is cold so she turns the temp up; does this count as a manual input? Does that not eventually create a problem? Much like the original thermostat but takes longer? Although, the account thing is interesting. Can you set the schedule and then disable the manual interface to let grandma change all she wants with no changes?

Heh, no offense taken. I don't know the internals of how nest deals with wild swings in manual inputs, but I haven't seen a problem. Although even if it results in a "nights are 80 degrees" situation, the rest of the day is unaffected so at worst it's still better than the other thermostat. Yes, you can set a schedule and disable the physical interface.
