How does it know who’s phone belongs to the people who live there?

I think you have to pair the app. Otherwise anyone could control your thermostat, even from outside your front door.
But what if you leave your kids at home? How would it know their phones? I wouldn’t give my kid the power of the thermostat, the pranks would be endless…
It also has a motion sensor, as OP mentions.
