The conclusion is baffling. If I understand the author’s thesis, I think it was something like: “Wouldn’t it be neat if the thermostat had more insight and could have automatically arranged to have itself repaired? But I don’t know how that’s possible. And if it were, I’m not sure I want those privacy trade offs. But we have to figure out how to get there from here!” Uh, do we?
The first thing I think about a self-repairing HVAC (or, rather, an HVAC that summons a technician autonomously) is how quickly can you go from “working A/C” to “ruinously expensive”? Yeah, I think I’m gonna keep a human in the loop on this one.
