So a long time ago I created HCU1. Over the years my wife has not complained (allthough I am not sure why) about my inventions... other than switches not being clearly labeled.  (editorial note--Someone may have selective hearing)
She did say that she dreams of the day when a small thing can do the job of the monstosity of HCU1.


Without further ado

HCU 6!    The Future of tomorrow today!  Almost catching up to a smart phone app, but I cannot relinquish control of the thermostat to just anyone, even if I love her.

Yes there are two of them. #2 is not yet complete.  I have learned long ago that if a failure is going to happen it will happen on a saturday night about 3:00AM, durring a storm, at -40*C, and probable still hammered from the party that lasted till 2:00AM.


And a close up of the display:

The display can show if the old thermostat is on or off and it even knows the temperature of the room. 
        
You bet, these are all adjustable parameters and a lot more. Now if I can only remember where they are and how to get to them... cause the wife wants training on this and I better look like I know what Im doing

A look at the inside: 

Wow, I need a larger, better, bigger magnifying glass!
    
I must admit that I sure like my 3D printer for makeing the holders for all of the parts.
Its gonna be a long winter as there is a spousal agreement in place that says new inventions must wait for moderate temperatures and be thoughly tested.  Much easier than a frosty house and a frigid wife.
