Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter?

If your willing to get into the weeds, most HVACs are very basic, and you can easily make your own thermostat with a cheap relay board. That plus a microcontroller and some code (and/or homeassistant) and you can make it as smart as you like.
There are smarter thermostats, but they are usually more expensive.

If you do microcontroller, look up PID regulator functions. Stabilizes anything measurable with super basic math.
