A smart thermostat may have a function to sense movement in a room. If something is covering the thermostat the furnace will short cycle.

Hi Sony, some thermostats are battery-powered, and can suffer from frequent restarting issues when the batteries get old. That could be the issue. If it's not the case, you might have to consult the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide for your model specifically.
