> But that's not a problem I have or need to have solved. Sometimes it's hard to be aware of problems that exist. The fact that we have to interact with a thermostat on a regular basis is a problem. To save energy and reduce the need for us to remember to interact with the device, it might be nice for software to figure out when we leave or enter our homes (perhaps via GPS on our phones, or by some other detection mechanism) and control the device automatically. I am almost positive that your thermostat doesn't do this.
