Does anyone know how this actually works? It seems far too good to be
true, and the website doesn't seem to have any technical detail at all
on how it actually works. I can (just about) see how a piezo switch
might be able to generate a control signal without active power, but a
thermostat? That's dead clever, even with a bit of solar power thrown
in!...
