Well, as one of the nicer off-topic threads on this list, might I |
| 19 |
mention that I always wanted to patent a thermostat that regulates heat |
| 20 |
index (or comfort index - a combination of temp and humidity) instead of |
| 21 |
temperature. And not just a humidistat - I don't want to dump water |
| 22 |
into the air if it is dry - I just want to turn down the AC when it is |
| 23 |
dry... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Then again, I guess this post pretty-much obliterates my chance of |
| 26 |
getting a patent. Then again, maybe somebody already has one but isn't |
| 27 |
bothering to manufacture them - that would explain why I can't find one |
| 28 |
for sale anywhere. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Instead I just have to set my temperature lower at night to compensate |
| 31 |
for increased humidity - which is really just a lousy hack. Where is |
| 32 |
the Honeywell bugzilla when you need it... :) |
