Abstract: A thermostat includes an improved user interface, including automatic scheduling, remote control, system failure warning messages, and Energy Star compliance messages. Diagnostics can be provided without additional communication links to the thermostat. A sub-base accepts multiple thermostats and uses color coded terminals to ease installation. Glow-in-the dark features reduce power needs. In one embodiment, thermostats are coupled to AC power sources and communicate using wireless communications to control an HVAC system. A dampered system can be effected through a thermostat that communicates directly with zoned dampers.

Abstract: A kit for temporarily applying a design to an article having a first surface and a second surface distal the first surface is provided. The article is transparent through the first surface and the second surface. The kit comprises at least one decorative design element having the design, and a selectively removable reusable adherent sheet for temporarily affixing the at least one decorative design element adjacent to the first surface of the article so that at least a portion of the design is visible from the second surface of the article, wherein the selectively removable reusable adherent sheet is adapted to be repeatedly removably adhered to the first surface of the article and be removable from the at least one decorative design element. A method for temporarily applying a design to an article is also provided.
