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.
