I mentioned in a little more detail in my other comment, but by learning/detecting your occupancy schedule, it can know when to turn the system on/off itself. Its as if someone was standing at your thermostat 24/7 micromanaging your temperature.

- tsumnia 15y agoYou'd be surprised, constantly manually changing the thermostat can have adverse effects, but with PID-based management system, you attempt to heat/cool a little past the target temperature before occupancy. From there you occasionally cool/heat when it hits a deadband of, say, 2 degrees back to the target temperature. After analyzing bills and normalizing area weather, we've been able to show 8-15% savings.
