Methods, systems, and related devices may partially or fully automatically control a thermal conditioning system of a thermally-conditioned receptacle in, for example, a vehicle. Selection of a method may be based on the presence and type of beverage detection sensors. Heating or cooling modes of operation may be based on historical preferences selected by the user, such as, for example, the selection of heating an item, such as a beverage container, when the first registration of the presence of the item in the receptacle occurs after system initiation. Heating or cooling modes of operation may be based on user input via one or more user input devices.
