When I noticed that hitch in the setup process, I found the solution more clever and elegant rather than cumbersome, but the fact that I specifically recall that step from 18+ months ago means that it definitely stuck out and I bumped into it. In any case, it was leagues less cumbersome than "push this button a bunch of times to change whichever field is blinking, then tap this button to change which field is blinking" of older T-stats.
