72/65 in the winter 78/70 in the summer. I know we should keep it cooler in the winter, but I just really hate being cold.

Are these cool/heat numbers?
Day/night
69 F
;)
If I'm paying the bills the AC is set to 72 in the summer and the heat is set to 66 in the winter.
If I'm not paying the bills the AC is set to 66 when it's hot and the heat is set to 72 when it's cold.
I acclimate to to the heat. I've lived in the South with no AC at all; 80F with humidity control is cushy by comparison.
Summer: open windows until heat and/or humidity causes concern for my electronics.
Winter Day: 68F Winter Night: 58F
It depends on where you sleep. Basement vs upstairs can make a huge difference at the same thermostat setting. I keep mine set to be between 19°C and 25°C and don't have trouble sleeping.
Speaking of which, anyone else use Home Assistant / Z-Wave?
71 in winter
70 in summer
Upstate NY - 64°F in the winter, no A/C ( just a half-assed whole house fan).
I knew upstate got cold but not that cold, damn
During the cold season
20°C, 18°C at night and when away
During the warm season
23°C, 25°C when away
By thermostat are we talking about heating? I'm cold-tolerant so I typically set mine to 15.5 C. If it gets any colder than that indoors it comes on
23 all year round
Here's January of this year. San Francisco, so pretty moderate weather
typically don't run heat during the day, and low 60s at night (if at all) during the winter. Large temperature gradient throughout house, typically.
South facing windows gives kitchen and living room a greenhouse effect, particularly in the winter, hence the large daily temperature swings:
When I visit the US I find that I usually set it in the mid to high 60s for optimal comfort.
In summer it's off and in winter 20,5-21℃ at daytime and 17℃ at night.
80f / 26.6c
18 c - 23 c.
Year long lowest possible to keep whatever fluids are in the radiators flowing. Not off but not too on either. And then open windows to regulate temperature.
My building is hot OK...
67-68f in the winter, 74 in the summer + fans to supplement when it gets really hot/muggy.
Neither are my ideal temperature, but it lowers the bills and helps reduce the harm done in terms of energy consumption
I'm originally from Florida, so 78 is what I usually leave mine at during summer.
63/77 all year.
17-20 C
I live in California’s San Joaquin valley. It gets hot in the summer. PG&E bill is high as hell. Having your place cooler than 78F is a total luxury. In my place keeping it at 78F would mean a couple $600 bills. I have since gotten solar but I’ve heard PG&E increased their prices twice since then. And they want to increase it even more.
On the other hand some places like Sacramento used to have super cheap rates and people could crank their ACs on.
It's always set at 19°C at night and 20°C for the day, all year long. But it's only heating, there is no AC.
72°F in summer / 64°F in winter
Heat to 69 in the winter, cool to 74-76 in the summer.
Usually around 18-19, 15-16 overnight
Why would I care what temperature it is when I'm sleeping? I'm asleep.
That aside, 60 winter and 73 summer.

18° during the day, 16° at night. I remember reading somewhere that getting down to 15° or lower for extended periods of time can cause problems for your house.
I keep mine on 64F room temp and hover around that. I use fans in the heat and portable heaters in the cold. But I heard keep it just below 70 in the winter and just above 70 in the summer to have a better bill.
