So let's talk alternatives. EcoBee? Honeywell?
What's the suggested alternate device and route for those of us that like a little control, like having other services that can integrate, and don't want to be yanked around by shutdowns?

As for automation and APIs to control it, generally we only use the Android app, but we have linked the ecobee to the Google Home app. I haven't yet tried to add it to the Mozilla webthings server running on our Retropie. We only have a 2 bedroom apartment, so our scope for lots of automation is somewhat less than if we owned our own home.
Until they are acquired by google and then rinse&repeat.
