One of my biggest annoyances is that, for whatever reason, Nest and ecobee haven't continued to expand their thermostats to support more sophisticated HVAC setups. I recently updated to a variable speed furnace (just the furnace, not the AC) and the Trane thermostat is complete shit, exactly what you'd think a "smart" thermostat made by an HVAC company would be. But I can't replace it because the third-party thermostats don't support variable speed furnaces, humidity systems, or electronic air filters. Why?
