I've been using one of these at home for about 5 years, and just installed a second in a tenant's apartment:

(The image shows the flap open-- only need to get in there once or twice a year- looks clean with it closed).
I set it to kick up some heat for a few hours M-F in the before-work space, and otherwise simply to kick down to 45ยบ 3 other times a day-- apart from weekday mornings it's basically "on demand" with an effective "off" timer should one forget to turn it down before leaving.
