Just had a 3 hour fight with a 'smart' thermostat that was killing a zone on a new install

My buddy had a Nest that kept locking him out of his own AC schedule. The thing would decide it was 90 degrees in the house when it was actually 65. He spent a whole Saturday on the phone with support before they figured out it was a bad sensor reading from the app. Sometimes the smart tech is just dumb.

Ugh, I feel that. My Ecobee kept shutting down the upstairs unit last winter. I mean, it was reading the temperature from the wrong sensor entirely, like from the sunny hallway instead of the actual bedroom. I had to go into the secret installer settings and manually tell it which sensor to use for that zone. Took me forever to even find that menu.
