With most tech guys, it's the same outfit every day - they wear their company logo.

It can't be that difficult to build a great thermostat. So I decided to figure out: What would the thermostat for the iPhone generation look like? I got this bug. It really infected my brain. I kept thinking about it. This could be a cool product that matters and a cool product that has a great business.

While I was designing my home, I was living in different houses all around the world, and I saw thermostats that were just as bad as the ones in the U.S., or houses that needed them but didn't have them. I realised that this was a worldwide problem. I thought, 'Let's fix it.'

I say homes are for families, and you have to make sure you design for the family, not just one person: kids, your wife, your grandparents need to be able to use it.

I feel like when you've got a good outfit on it makes your day, right?

I love practical, comfy clothes, so I like an all-in-one outfit - a jumpsuit or dungarees - because there's no effort involved.

My style is all about being comfortable in every outfit I decide to wear.

I feel like every outfit I have ever planned ahead is trash.

I don't always want to wear the same outfit, so why where the same ring?
