Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 hours agoSo your thermostat is tracking your location by GPS to know when to turn on?
I mean, I guess at least I can see how someone might benefit from it I suppose. I certainly don’t want that though.

Nobody was asking what you want.
Nobody here is trying to sell you on one of these, you just jumped in to tell us how you cant fathom why someone would want one and were offered a reasonably common use case as an answer.

Wait until they find out about how cars are tracking your every movement

Or when they find out that their phone has like 30 other sensors used in conjunction with the GPS for tracking that can’t be “switched off”.
Or that switching off GPS is only switching off the transmission of the data, not the collection of it on the device which then stores it all to be transmitted as soon as you turn the toggle back on.
