Heh, this is where programmable theromstats are handy.  I've specifically
added some set-back events timed to execute about a half-hour after the wife
is known to fiddle with the thermostat.  Works wonders.  She'd come home and
crank down the AC, in a half-hour the event would reset it to a more
reasonable setting.  Saved considerably in the marital bliss department.

If/when thermostats and the like get real bidirectional feedback it'd be
great.  It'd be great to have a CPU balance between outside ambient
temperature, day/night sun conditions, occupancy and preset programming
definitions.  As in, detect that someone's fiddled with the thermostat, let
them "get away with it" for a short while and resume settings as desired
while being intelligent about it.  Until then, ah well.
