  Claire Rowland commented on "Siri, did I leave the oven on?" UX for the connected home (updated for IA Summit 2013) it's fine to turn it up if you're cold. but most people think it will warm up faster if you turn it up higher: they think a thermostat works like a valve/volume control (up=heating works faster), but actually you're just changing the set point of a switch (the system will work to maintain a higher temperature but it won't heat up any faster). see http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=bghyGE8sRO0C&pg=PA213&lpg=PA213&dq=thermostat+valve+mental+model&source=bl&ots=V_ks6YAd2H&sig=U1UjthNQIRMp9BlPeO16bEthVLQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=MRSWUeHyMKfR7Ab94oDoAg&ved=0CFcQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=thermostat%20valve%20mental%20model&f=false
