Is there someone who has never forgotten to turn on the pitot heat????????  I know that I have and, on rare occasions, I still do.

I really like the idea of an auto-on system that functions automatically.  Would I remember to select that feature?  Probably.???! Sometimes???  Who knows?????.

Anyway, us old folks seem to need all the help that they can get.  In that regard, I put my pitot switch next to the position- light/strobe switch.  The thinking was that if I remember to turn off the strobes in IMC, I would remember to turn on the pitot heat,  and viceversa.  The strobes flashing in IMC can get pretty annoying real fast,  especially at night

Anyone have any other thoughts????
