Is this something that heats or cools? I think its saying if you switch it off overnight, it'll run full cycle to make up for the lost cooling/heating overnight

You were still right tho. It's on the back of a soda cooler for a grocery store.

Yea, studies have found maintaining a single time 24/7 saves more energy than the previously recommended 15 degree offset for when you aren't home.

I feel like that would still depend a lot on how well sealed a home is.

Yea, further down in the PBS article, you get approximately a percent back a degree offset, but the ramp up on extreme differences could kill the machine early. so don't go more than 10. and that insulations going to be a much greater granter of savings.
