They found that the people gone from the house 9-5 will save an average of $227/yr, and people who need to keep their homes comfortable during the day will save an average of $116/yr.

Relative to what, though? Using an ugly WiFi thermostat? Praying over chicken bones and running the AC at 65F all day? You're absolutely right--they need to sell this thermostat on energy savings.

FWIW, I'd install a beautiful thermostat if it also (a) saved the world a bit and (b) saved me some money.
