To me, self-awareness is, as I said before, having a model of the world that is complete enough that it incorporates a model of yourself within this world as well (and possibly other agents you encounter in this world). I guess I would add that the model should be sophisticated enough to be able to model your interactions with the world and make some sensible predictions about the future. I suppose according to this definition, a smart thermostat could be considered self-aware, but the bar for self-awareness goes up with the complexity of the interactions you can have with the world.
