Yeah, placement's definitely key. Had a similar issue—mine was near the kitchen, so every time I cooked, it thought the whole house was roasting. Moved it to a neutral spot in the hallway, and it's been way better. About seasonal shifts...I've noticed that too. Usually, I just clear the thermostat's learned schedule at the start of each season and let it relearn for a few days. Seems to smooth things out quicker than waiting for it to adjust on its own.

Interesting, but personally I don't reset mine every season. Seems like it defeats the purpose of having a "smart" thermostat if you're constantly wiping its memory. I just tweak the temp manually for a couple days—it catches on pretty quick without a full reset.

Yeah, I get your point about the memory thing... but honestly, I've found mine gets a bit stubborn if I don't reset it occasionally. Like last spring, it kept trying to roast me alive because it'd gotten used to winter temps, haha. Do you notice yours adapting quickly enough when there's a sudden weather swing? Mine seems kinda slow on the uptake sometimes.

- I've noticed something similar with mine, but I think it's more about the thermostat's learning algorithm than memory per se.
- Mine usually takes a day or two to catch up after a sudden weather shift. Like last month, we had that random heatwave, and it kept running the heat until I manually adjusted it.
- One workaround I've found helpful is tweaking the sensitivity settings in the app—seems to help it adapt quicker without needing a full reset. Might be worth checking out if your model has that option.

That's interesting—I've been hesitant to mess with sensitivity settings since I worried it'd use more energy (and bump up my bill)... Have you noticed any difference in your energy usage after tweaking those settings?
