An old manager of mine introduced me to the concept of ”not letting perfect get in the way of good” (presumably from the aphorism "Perfect is the enemy of good"). Nobody else knows what your version of perfect is. Your post/blog/PR etc. is ready already.
If a smart thermostat is turning on at a factory set "default time", I wouldn't consider it to be doing its job of adjusting the timings based on your usage habits.
I don't know how the smart thermostat is supposed to know your behaviour unless you tell it, which means taking it off the default. I had to tell my thermostat explicitly when I wake up.
With room occupancy detection, it should start modeling likely HVAC needs - able to predict accordingly, and adjust power use & timing jitter accordingly.

Where are the images? All I can see (on mobile) is the one at the top of the article. Am I missing something? Have I forgotten how to use the Internet?
I'm on desktop (Firefox) and the top image is the only one I see, too - I spent a minute or so hunting to see if they were hiding somewhere, to no avail...
These diagrams were based on some provided by TFL in response to a Freedom of Information request. They redacted areas where "disclosure of the
information requested would be likely to adversely affect the safety and
security of TfL employees and members of the general public." [0]
Fantastic! That means they at least have made _some_ ethical editorial decisions, and didn't conform to some naïve conception that all information should be widely publicized regardless of the potential for adverse effects.
It also means that one could make one's own survey, and then compare the differences between it and the publicly-available maps, which may highlight potential points of interest.
This holds true for a number of situations where approval is required. For me it's particularly helpful when looking for IT/Information Security approval. "What actions/precautions do you recommend I take, so that you will approve this when you are asked to (and we are implementing a secure solution)?"
