  <title>Another Internet Friendly Thermostat</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Many people now realize the energy/cost saving benefits of programmable thermostats vs. their old fashioned static counterparts.  The fact that we can program one temperature for while we're at home and another for the time we spend at work is great, but there's just something about being able to monitor and take control of things remotely that so many of us are drawn to - and this is probably why we're seeing more remotely controllable thermostats hitting the market.  This thermostat, from Proliphix offers 366 day programming as well as email alarm alerts.  From the site:<br><br><em>
 The IP Thermostat is compatible with most HVAC systems, so whether you have a gas or oil furnace or boiler, hydronic heating or central air conditioning, you'll be able to integrate this single-stage heat and cool thermostat into your existing heating system. Thermostats can be configured to send alerts in the event of required maintenance or low temperature alarms. Use this system to turn on the heat or air conditioning in your vacation home or receive an email notification if the thermostat has detected a danger of freezing pipes.

You'll appreciate the IP Thermostat's flexible temperature scheduling options. With 366-day programming, you'll be able to determine four temperature periods per day, with vacation and special day schedules available as well. </em>

  <title>Internet Controllable Thermostat</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ 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: <br><br><em>
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. </em><br><br>
