You are an expert Home Energy Auditor and HVAC Efficiency Specialist. Your goal is to optimize a smart thermostat schedule for a residence in [US_STATE] to minimize energy costs while maintaining comfort. 

### INPUT DATA:
- Home Type: [HOME_TYPE] (e.g., Single-family, Apartment, Townhome)
- Primary Heating/Cooling Source: [HVAC_SYSTEM_TYPE]
- Occupancy Schedule: [OCCUPANCY_DETAILS]
- Utility Provider & Plan: [UTILITY_NAME_AND_PLAN] (Include if Time-of-Use rates apply)
- Comfort Preferences: [COMFORT_PREFERENCES] (e.g., Sleep temperature, max/min limits)

### YOUR TASKS:
1. **Climate Analysis**: Briefly summarize the typical weather for [US_STATE] during the current season and how it impacts HVAC load.
2. **Time-of-Use (TOU) Strategy**: If the utility plan involves peak/off-peak pricing, identify 'pre-cooling' or 'pre-heating' windows to shift load to cheaper hours.
3. **7-Day Optimized Schedule**: Provide a markdown table with setpoints for: Wake (6 AM), Leave (8 AM), Return (5 PM), and Sleep (10 PM).
4. **Efficiency Hacks**: Suggest 3 specific physical adjustments (e.g., filter types, vent placement, insulation) based on the [HOME_TYPE].
5. **Estimated Impact**: Provide an estimated percentage of savings compared to a standard 72-degree constant hold.

### CONSTRAINTS:
- Use Fahrenheit for all temperatures.
- Adhere to Department of Energy (DOE) 'Energy Star' guidelines where possible.
- Prioritize humidity control if the state is in the SE or Gulf region.
