Is it too much to ask for an intuitive thermostat?
It seems to me that if there is going to be a hardware widget mounted on the wall for the sole purpose of humans fiddling with it, then it ought to be engineered and optimized from that perspective first (UX: user experience)...
Yeah, I believe the point here is that this is a mockup of what an intuitive UI would be, not a shot of a bad one. I also was confused at first, the title doesn't really clarify.
