Abstract
A space thermostat for controlling temperature at different levels during different time periods includes a programmable microprocessor which has been pre-programmed to provide a plurality of chronologically annunciated displays. Each display contains a time and temperature within a specific time range. A multi-segment keyboard is provided to enable the homeowner to set the correct clock time and day of the week, to recall each display, and to change, if necessary, the time and temperature of each display so as to establish a desired seven-day time-temperature schedule.
