           Summary: Read configuration/secrets from environment variables
           Product: Thermostat
           Version: hg
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Thermostat
          Assignee: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org

A recommended approach for storing secrets is to use environment variables
rather than keeping them on disk. You can see it on these pages:

- https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars
- https://appsembler.readthedocs.org/en/latest/secret_settings.html

Perhaps thermostat (agent? storage? webservice?) should support this.
