Abstract

The present invention relates to smart home devices that are self-qualified to enable away-state functionality. A thermostat includes a housing and an occupancy sensor disposed within the housing and configured to detect the physical presence of a user within a response area of ​​the occupancy sensor. The thermostat may also include a processing system disposed within the housing and in operative communication with the occupancy sensor. The processing system may be configured to determine whether to activate the away-state component after a trial period by: storing an indication of how often the occupancy sensor detected physical presence during the trial period, calculating an occupancy level for the trial period, level is compared with the threshold standard, determines whether the occupancy sensor senses a sufficiently real occupancy condition indication during the trial period and activates the thermostat if it is determined that a sufficiently true occupancy condition indication is sensed during the trial period The leave state widget.
