I somewhat agree; I'm too much of a control freak to rely on "auto away" (if I leave the house, i just turn the damn thing down!), though i will say having it NOT turn the heat on at 5pm when we're getting home late for the day is nice. I think many of the cost savings from auto-away would only be realized for the lazy/inattentive and particularly for those with air conditioning, which is far more expensive to run than heat. Also, it's really nice to turn on the heat before arriving home when it's been off all weekend, or at the cabin for a weekend skiing. The difference between walking into a 38 degree house and a 50 degree house is pretty large.
