        Our thermostats haven’t. I really don’t understand it - it can’t possibly be more expensive to make, the cheapest of parts can give you better than tenths of a degree, just give us half degrees and we wouldn’t even need another button.

        Half of them use touch screens anyways! How are you going to give us WiFi on them while making them less adjustable than a 55 year old analog one?? I can set the freaking background and send messages to them from the other side of the world, but there’s not even a hidden option for fine adjustment.

          Having thermostats with sub-degree values actually doesn’t make a lot of sense since the temperature within a room fluctuates by a few degrees between the hottest and the coldest spot. Hence setting target temperatures with higher accuracy is as accurate as measuring micron-accurate distances by eye.

          “Yeah, I can totally see that this is 2154 microns long. I can see that from across the room!”
