I was just complaining about this in my comment. All of these "smart" thermostats are super dumb IMHO. I want one that takes into account outside temp/humidity as well as indoor. I want my house to always feel like 65F (and ideally 60F at night). That's it. No smarts, no "away" detection, no eco mode, none of that. It's bonkers to me that all these newer thermostats accomplished was adding the ability to remotely control the same old stupid tech (and wasting everyone's time figuring out how to turn off eco mode).
