WiFi Restful API Thermostat

Radio Thermostat CT80

After a few frustrating days with our home thermostat, I finally got fed up and starting looking into a replacement.

After a couple hours I come to terms with most general home thermostats suck. Like 1990′s technology compared to todays. Stuck in the past.

Then I found a WiFi enabled thermostat by Radio Thermostat.

Sure, this might not be for the average small home. But these 2 Radio Thermostats are remotely accessible and programmable by using a straight forward RESTful web service.

Now I just need a grip of remotely controlled vent louvre’s…. hmmm

As you can see from the picture, I bite my guitar picks. I don’t bite them via a psychosis like a frustrated copywriter that chews on their pens or pencils. I hold my picks between my canines while adjusting audio gear or...
