The worst is thermostats, awhile back I stayed at a place for a month that had some kind of “smart” thermostat already connected to an account and it was programmed to “remember” when I change it and automatically schedule changes, with tons of things already on the schedule and I couldn’t change it because it was already attached to some dufus’ account. I had to hard reset the damn thing just to keep it from changing from cool to heat in the middle of the night. AND IT WAS MOTION SENSING, so it just wouldn’t run if nobody was home, putting the poor animals at risk.
Most let you set a minimum/maximum temperature that it will never willingly cross. Keeps things like pets and pipes safe while not needing to have it be at optimal human temperature all the time. Most these settings are user adjustable.

Stupid idiot device, more like.
I hate the “goes brrrr” thing, but “Frozen pipes in the winter go brrrrrr”
