Internet Controllable Thermostat

Internet Controllable Thermostat Proliphix produces an internet connected programmable thermostat that uses your LAN as its power supply with the aid of an (additional) ethernet power adapter. The thermostat's configuration/monitoring webpage is accessible from within your home network as well as from the internet. The company also offers wall mountable and paintable sensors to increase whole-house temperature accuracy. From the site:

Proliphix offers indoor temperature sensors, which can be mounted away from the thermostat so that temperature inside a home or small business can be averaged across multiple rooms to avoid hot or cold spots and wasted energy. With an optional Proliphix outdoor temperature sensor connected to a networked thermostat, the heating/cooling system can be controlled more precisely to efficiently and more comfortably overcome the indoor to outdoor temperature difference. The web browser configuration tool is simple to use and allows users to easily configure heating or cooling programs to maximize comfort and minimize energy use.

Smarthome sells the Proliphix NT20e, which is the same unit but with 2 additional remote temperature sensors, for use in monitoring different zones within your home or even the outdoor temperature.

Does Proliphix (or anyone else for that matter) make an Internet accessible thermostat that does not have to be accessed through the manufacturer's website (or the utility provider's website)? I like the idea of being able to drop my temperature if I leave home for a few days, and then raise it up remotely when I am on my way home again. However, I don't like the idea of my utility provider (or a thermostat manufacturer) being able to record the times and temperatures I set it at.

The proliphix does not need to be accessed from the companies website... I think they offer that service as it means that non-computer folks do not have to set up dynamic DNS and open firewall ports. I can access mine with and without their service.
