So it may well be inevitable that Big Brother will be in control of
our thermostats. I actually had this once. I was in an apartment
that had been chopped out of a fairly large residence. I was never
able to get much heat by adjusting the thermostat. Turns out it was
just a wall decoration and the only thermostat was in their part of
the house. It was not a good feeling to have no control over my
comfort.

So you would have been happier if you hadn't found out. :)


It would be fun to build a dummy thermostat that slowly moved back to
whatever the landlord had set it at, after a ten or fifteen minute wait.
