To each their own, but the idea of an internet connected thermostat (at great expense!) never made sense to me. A $20 Honeywell lets you program 4 regions per day (waking, day, evening, night) and will be fine almost every day of the year. Has a battery backup and never failed me.

I guess it would be cute to get some analytics dashboard, but that’s about where my interest ends.

Well beyond a basic dumb thermostat I like that my EcoBee can use several wireless temperature sensors. During the day I have it set to only use the downstairs sensors and at night it only uses the upstairs sensors.

Can a $20 Honeywell thermostat do that with wireless sensors? If it can, I will get one.
