It's great but you have to remember to use it wisely. Taking the time to set it to the optimal temperature takes patience, as well as a ton of trial and error. This becomes even more difficult if you're living in a household with more than 1 person in it. You have to find a compromised, energy preferred setting.
For example, my wife would love nothing more than to have the thermostat set at 68 - 70 degrees in the winter. I would prefer it to be in the 63 or 64 degree range. Our compromise was 66 degrees when we're home, and 61 when we're away for the day.
