Thermostat control options

I'm a newbie trying to figure out the best programming method for my Insteon Thermostat 2441TH. What ever I do, it has to be wife friendly which means she can walk over to the thermostat and override the default settings.

 

I see 2 basic options.

1) Program it stand alone and override it occasionally with the ISY.

2) Program it entirely through the ISY.

 

In regards to #1, what's the point of have an ISY if you don't use it. :-)

In regards to #2, I'm hesitant I can write a robust program that accounts for random wife/kid button pushing.

 

How do you do it? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have a KPL button that enables/disables ISY control. Button Lit = Wife override - Button Off = ISY in control.

 

ISY Control started as a basic schedule and evolved as track occupancy and since I took control of my pellet stove and gained access to outside temp. A basic schedule for setback is where I would start and add on from there as your skills and needs dictate.
