Yes, there are some out there on the market but you can't find them in stores (internet only), they're expensive, and most demand either a Cat5 running to the thermostat or an extra electric outlet to power the wireless receiver.
Look, all I want is one I can program on my computer so all it needs is a USB or SD card slot. I'll pop that in my computer, program it, and then pop it back in the thermostat. Done. Why can't someone make one of those? If you want remote access then why can't they put a simple little wireless receiver in there? If they can fit it in my phone surely they can put it in a thermostat.
