jan 1, 1906 - Thermostats patented for homes

Description:

"In 1906 the Honeywell company introduced homeowners to the very first thermostat; a significant moment in the history of thermostats.

The “Jewell” was a programmable thermostat that could be pre-set the night before with a desired morning temperature. Homeowners quickly bought-up these luxurious new devices and said good riddance to the days of basement furnace stoking. Honeywell later added an electric clock to the thermostat for easier programming in the 1930s."
