   Sounds like temperatures fluctuating all over the place in a complex   
   algorithm (nothing to do with a US scammer)  that can get out of control and   
   is hard to correct.   
      
   We spend lots of money attempting to get even temperatures throughout our   
   house and then they come along with one that "thinks" it knows when to turn   
   the heat up and down...and learns that you adjust the temperature when it is   
   too late and the house is already too cold or too hot.   
      
   I have used AIC (adaptive intelligent compensating) thermostats and always   
   had to turn the setting off. The Weather intelligence sounds real good but a   
   simple outdoor reset sensor would do the same thing. Hard to compensate for   
   radiant solar heat though. It doesn't measure well on a temperature sensor.   
      
   The idea sounds great and after the initial people needing constant updates   
   pay for the development, and the product survives that long from the bad   
   reviews, we will see how well it functions.   
      
   I will wait for a unit in a dual heating stage , dual A/C cooling stage ,   
   dual fan stage with HRV cycling and multiple scenes unit that can talk to   
   other thermostats and instruct them which time of day and scene to use.

   It isn't available yet, and it seems to me a bit spendy - but I have to   
   admit that I'm impressed with a thermostat that can tell if anyone is   
   home and can learn home/away patterns to maximize comfort and minimize   
   heating and cooling costs.
