Error correction for predictive schedules for a thermostat

A predictive schedule error correction method, comprising:

• recording a plurality of actual occupancy statuses, wherein each actual occupancy status is associated with a timestamp corresponding with a day and an hour of a day over a second period of time;
• determining a plurality of predicted occupancy statuses, wherein each predicted occupancy status corresponds with a timestamp of an actual occupancy status;
• comparing the plurality of predicted occupancy statuses to the plurality of actual occupancy statuses;
• identifying one or more conflicting occupancy statuses based on the comparison, wherein a conflicting occupancy status indicates a difference between an actual occupancy status and a corresponding predicted occupancy status;
• identifying one or more timestamps corresponding with the one or more conflicting occupancy statuses;
• identifying one or more historical occupancy statuses corresponding with the identified one or more timestamps;
• and
• updating the one or more conflicting occupancy statuses in a predicted occupancy schedule with the one or more historical occupancy statuses, wherein the predicted occupancy schedule comprises a plurality of time entries, wherein:
• each time entry corresponds with a day of a week and an hour of a day;
• and
• each time entry is associated with a predicted occupancy status.

A computer program comprising executable instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor causes the processor to:

• record a plurality of actual occupancy statuses, wherein each actual occupancy status is associated with a timestamp corresponding with a day and an hour of a day over a second period of time;
• determine a plurality of predicted occupancy statuses, wherein each predicted occupancy status corresponds with a timestamp of an actual occupancy status;
• compare the plurality of predicted occupancy statuses to the plurality of actual occupancy statuses;
• identify one or more conflicting occupancy statuses based on the comparison, wherein a conflicting occupancy status indicates a difference between an actual occupancy status and a corresponding predicted occupancy status;
• identify one or more timestamps corresponding with the one or more conflicting occupancy statuses;
• identify one or more historical occupancy statuses corresponding with the identified one or more timestamps;
• and
• update the one or more conflicting occupancy statuses in a predicted occupancy schedule with the one or more historical occupancy statuses, wherein the predicted occupancy schedule comprises a plurality of time entries, wherein:
• each time entry corresponds with a day of a week and an hour of a day;
• and
• each time entry is associated with a predicted occupancy status.
