Connected thermostats are great in theory! But they should not have to rely on a cloud connection. A local network with the option of internet connectivity would be awesome; but, it seems, no company is going to become uber successful if there isn't the option of forced upgrades and cloud subscriptions. Look at Ring...

If you have the latest models you’re not dependent on the cloud, and it’s unfortunate Google didn’t add this functionality to these retired models.
