1. A control apparatus for controlling an environmental device, the control apparatus comprising:

  • a first condition sensor that senses a first condition of the environment;

    a first memory that records the sensed first condition at predetermined intervals;

    a controller configured to activate and/or deactivate the environmental device;

    a clock associated with the controller that supplies time data;

    a second memory that records data relating to the sensed first condition, data relating to the events of activation and/or deactivation of the environmental device and time data; and

    a processor that controls the activation and deactivation events of the controller based on data including at least one of the stored time, activation event, and condition data, and wherein the processor anticipates changes in the sensed temperature based on the stored data, and automatically based on the anticipated changes modifies its control functions without user input.
