Guess it’s just another reminder that “smart” doesn’t always mean “set it and forget it.” Sometimes you gotta outsmart the smart stuff first.
That’s the truth. I’ve seen people get tripped up by sensor placement more times than I can count—especially in homes with weird nooks or those sunbeam “death rays” at certain times of day. Did you ever try using draft detectors or thermal cameras to track down the sneaky airflow issues? Sometimes it’s not just sunlight but old insulation or leaky windows throwing things off. Makes me wonder if these systems should come with a mini home energy audit before setup... Would save a lot of head-scratching, honestly.
It’s wild how much the “smart” stuff can get thrown off by something as simple as a draft from an old window. I’ve walked into homes where one rogue vent or a sunbeam in the wrong spot totally messes with the system’s brain. You’re right about the energy audit—most folks don’t realize how many little things can throw off airflow until they’re sweating in one room and freezing in another. It’s not always user error, either... sometimes these gadgets just aren’t as clever as they think they are. Hang in there—it’s usually fixable once you track down the culprit.
