A good dev would buy a few $5 temperature sensors, spend a couple hours on data collection, train a simple logistic regression with sklearn, and be done in an afternoon. This dev also ends up with a far more reliable and maintainable system, with far less privacy implications.
(A *really* bad dev would also spend an extra 2 weeks trying out their idea about using GANs for data augmentation in their activity classification CNN-LSTM, needlessly burning several MWh in the process.)
Totally agreed. One of the few things that has started to irritate me now a days is that no matter how simple the problem is, people start with this "Let's collect data for few weeks, then we can build a deep learning model on top of it."
I think the only slack I would cut to developers is that their bosses often do a terrible job of defining the problem they need to solve. This often leads to over-engineering solutions. Most of that could be solved by asking questions and resisting saying yes to everything.
won't work in my case : the kitchen can get warm the the sun shines, and my friend may get a low corporal temperature.
Some people nowadays fancy over-engineering, even if it does not solve the actual problem itself. 
Thank you for this thread. I have been criticized more than once for my simplistic models made with sklearn yet they perform both better and faster than those critical of me. Just because they do not use deep learning does not make them bad!
And then we have an 80% success rate and a horrible user experience. The boss is happy because 80% is better than 0% and okays it. Clients of the software then either learn it's unreliable and don't use it, or trust it too much and let the kitchen burn down.
I think the only time under-engineering is acceptable is when it's for an ancillary feature (e.g. extracting text from pictures for indexing on a typically text-based search platform). If it's for the main product, I think the "just get 90% there" business mentality is bad.
These are things I need to know. I really need to find a mentor.
Yaaahoooza someone is picking a fight 
Motion detectors might be better, but agree sensors matter more than code algorithms, more & better sensors solve lots of tough code problems, coders may not always be best problem solvers if you have a hammer... nailed it
