ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for programming a programmable thermostat having a default program set and one or more pre-programmed program sets, wherein each pre-programmed program set has a plurality of times and a plurality of temperatures. The method includes the steps of selecting one of the plurality of pre-programmed program sets; programming the programmable thermostat with the times and temperatures of the selected pre-programmed program set; and altering the times and temperatures of the selected pre-programmed program set to create a tailored program set. An auto-programmable thermostat may include a first memory having a default program set which receives at least one of a plurality of pre-programmed program sets, wherein each pre-programmed program set includes a plurality of times and at least a plurality of temperatures. The thermostat also may have a plurality of alphanumeric identifiers, each identifier corresponding to one of the plurality of pre-programmed program sets; selection keys for selecting one of a plurality of the alphanumeric identifiers; a processor responsive to the selection keys for replacing the default program set on the first memory with the selected pre-programmed program set; and keys for altering the times and temperatures of the selected pre-programmed program set.
