A big part of it is just geeking out over how cool it is that my thermostat is online. However, I'm the kind of guy who never remembers to change the thermostat's schedule before I leave home for a trip, and this thing has already made it possible for me to correct that mistake without having to go back to the house or ask a friend to go over and do it for me. Over the lifetime of the thermostat, that will more than cover its cost in savings off my electric bill.
