Approaching heating season, I wanted to replace the 1950's Honeywell Round thermostat in my house with something programmable. Just for shits and giggles I looked at the WiFi-enabled section and stumbled upon the "Nest." Though I have just started hearing about it in radio advertisements, I never would have known about its existence unless I was shopping for a thermostat. Needless to say, I impulse-purchased it, and it's VERY COOL. It's pricey, but the cool-factor and functionality make it 100% worth it to me.
It hooks up to your WiFi and you can control it from your computer, iPhone, iPad, Smartphone, whatever you want, anywhere you want. Though you CAN program it, you don't have to. It learns your schedule, and has sensors to know if you're home or away so it can turn down the heat. It also learns how long it takes your home to reach a desired temperature so it will compensate for that. My house also only has one zone. So now I can adjust the temperature from my bedroom upstairs without hauling my lazy self ALL THE WAY downstairs, haha. It's designed by a former Apple employee who is apparently credited for inventing the iPod, so the user-interface is brilliant all-around.
If you're looking for a cool new gadget, this might be a good choice.
