House has heat again and a fancy new thermostat which I have so far declined to allow Internet access. Down side, the old thermostat was a very simple mostly mechanical thing that never had any problems (this was used for at least 2 furnaces and the one that just got replaced was 26 years old) while I have less confidence in the longevity of anything that even could connect to the Internet. Up side, I can see what it thinks the temperature is from a couple rooms over.
