But none of this seems to need hysteresis for the actual activation/deactivation of heating depending on temperature readings? One reason I could see is to preserve the life of electromagnetic relays, but modern thermostats should use solid state relays. These points also seem to be solved for any somewhat modern (less than 15 years old?) run of the mill thermostat. Generally they always show the current reading and give the temperature setting only when you ask for it though, that's the only difference I see with what you want.

The comment was something like 'walking by' disrupting the air at the thermostat and that alone being enough to turn the furnace on at that exact moment. A running average, but also making it clear to the user (both the value the unit is using for the decision and the current instant input) as well as a 'running average' over a given window address that specific comment. I added my own frustrations on top since they're also part of the larger 'dumb down the UI' and make the device frustrating.
