System and method for using a mobile electronic device to optimize an energy management system

This is a smart thermostat system that automatically adjusts your home's temperature based on whether your mobile phone is inside the house. It uses your phone's location to determine if the house is occupied, then tells the thermostat to change the temperature to save energy when no one is home. The claims describe a thermostat with a wireless radio that communicates with a location-aware device, and can also incorporate outside temperature or motion sensor data.

Why it matters: Since 2020, the accuracy and reliability of smartphone location services have improved, and smart home interoperability standards like Matter have matured, potentially simplifying the secure connection between mobile devices and thermostats.
