Web Enabled Thermostats

[Mark Bosworth]

I'm seeing high electric bills in our STR properties and was wondering if anyone had tried using a web thermostat to reduce power usage when the unit was vacant. The idea would be to turn the AC up (higher temps) when unoccupied and then back down right before guests arrive.

1)  Anyone doing this?

2)  How much do you think it saves?

3) What thermostat do you used?

4) Has anyone automated this so you don't have to change temps manually?

Thanks for the help!!!
