For one thing, I want the air conditioning turned on before I arrive home so that I dont enter a warm house. Even adjusting the AC is for short intervals is questionable in terms of energy savings. It is not just the air, it is the heat capacity of all the things in the home that matters, and cooling all those objects off, including walls and floors, takes a lot of energy.
The rest of the examples are pretty lame, too. BTW, why do Liam's settings get overridden by Laura's when she arrives? She must be the Queen of the house, and Liam not the King! OK, maybe that is actually the most realistic part...
