Programmable TRVs?

Does anyone know of a local manufacturer that makes and sells a programmable TRV? I know Danfoss makes one, but it isn't in the US market yet. I'm also looking for one with the remote wallmount operator- but programmable. Thanks in advance. Caleffi guys? This seems to be right up your alley- I can't believe these wouldn't sell like hotcakes.

    I have seen them on ebay but I have not heard any reliable feedback. They even have Bluetooth enabled models.

    Do the programmable Danfoss heads work on the single pipe steam valve bodies?

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    The Caleffi programmable is also a Euro model, metric units. I tried one on the radiator next to the bed. The gear train noise was a bit loud. Program it for your wake up time

    Hot Rod - so Caleffi makes one but not with a wall-mount operator?

    Here's a manual for Danfoss programmable head. It looks like it comes with adapters for different valve bodies: http://heating.danfoss.com/pcmpdf/living-eco_viidb202.pdf

    Not positive what the of body is steam one.

    Jeff, What did you end up using?
    DIY'er ... ripped out a perfectly good forced-air furnace and replaced it with hot water & radiators.
