I let a local LLM control my thermostat to see if it could beat Nest and Ecobee

Smart thermostats can learn your habits, but if your routine changes, you can’t just tell them what’s different and expect them to adapt. If a Large Language Model (LLM) were running my heating, I’d be able to do exactly that. I decided to let an LLM take control of my heating for a week to see how it compared to popular smart thermostats.
