IoT Concept

I have often contemplated putting a placebo thermostat in my house for my wife and kids to fiddle with. Because no matter what I do to please and make them comfortable, they always feel the need to mess with it. I think a "smart" thermostat that could display temperatures that make my family feel happy, even if though the temperature is sitting at the programmed temperature, say 71F/(21.6C). You get a message on your phone, saying they have cranked up the desired temp to 80F, they must really be cold, ok, temporarily raise the programmed temperature. Now that would be "smart".

The nest doesn't lie, but it does temporarily raise the temperature and lower it back down whenever it thinks you've stopped paying attention. Plus it guesses at when you leave the house and really lowers the temperature then.
