Abstract: A programmable thermostat usable to program their thermostat in a more intuitive manner using the fewer commands. The programmable thermostat provides a simplified level of programming that is intuitive and quick, based on a common set of settings, such as a nighttime setback programming that automatically adjusts the thermostat setpoint down in the evening and resetting the setpoint up in the morning, and a “five and two” programming reflecting the normal five-day work week and two-day weekend, as well as four events per day during the work week but only two events during the two weekend days. By compromising infinite flexibility and customization of programming for the efficiency of assuming that the most common settings are sufficient for most users, and these most common settings can be accomplished with a greatly reduced set of intuitive commands, making it easier for users to making use of thermostat programming.
