A thermostat is certainly intelligent.

The definition of intelligent I give is “to mitigate uncertainty.” If it does not mitigate uncertainty, it is not intelligent.

It is merely of constrained intelligence. Perhaps your expectations are too broad.

If the thermostat reacts appropriately to environmental changes then it is performing its role intelligently.
