Here's why I don't believe in "smart" thermostats.

My thermostat is set keep between 72-75°F during the day, so it turns the heat on in the mornings to recover from a colder night temp. But during summer heat I don't want it to do that, I'd rather tolerate a cooler temp in the morning and avoid running the AC in the evening. And I check the weather to know how much I need to open windows for the night. I seriously doubt an average "smart" device can be programmed this way.
