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.

The issue that the Nest solved for me was figuring out how long it took for the hot water to get to the radiators, and what the bounce looked like after it got there. It'll stop calling for heat before it reaches the final temp because it will still keep going up.

It doesn't need to be cloud-connected to do so, but that's not a feature I'm aware a $20 Honeywell has.
