What is Adaptive Intelligent Recovery and what are the benefits?

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery allows the thermostat to 'learn' how long your furnace and air conditioner take to reach your desired temperature. You simply set your program schedule to the time you want the house to reach your desired temperature, and the thermostat automatically turns on heating or cooling at the right time to achieve that temperature by your scheduled time. For example, if you set Wake time to 6 am at 70°F, the heat will turn on before 6 am so the temperature reaches 70° by the time you wake up.
