Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter?

There are a lot of smart engineers that design those.

If you have an external temperature measurement it helps. But it can’t see the difference between a cloudy day and a sunny day.

If you connect it to an online weather service that helps, but it’s still hard for it to know how much the sun heats your home due to big south facing windows for example.

This is something AI could be useful for. Feed it forecast, inside, outside temp and let it figure out how to balance those against each other for your home. I’m not sure there are many systems like this on the market yet.
