Time for a new Smart Thermostat - Poll
I voted 'other'
I am firmly in the 'dumb' thermostat camp...

Too late for OP but for anyone else another consideration between the nest and Ecobee is integration with Apple Siri. Since Nest was bought by Google it does not integrate well with Apple siri without some workarounds. Ecobee integrates easily.

True, however you can load the Alexa app on your iPhone and use it to control the thermostat, as long as Alexa is open on the phone, voice control using it will work.

That is a plus though with Ecobee and direct Siri access...
