Rod,
I looked into smart thermostats last year. My wife purchased her childhood home in Central Illinois from the estate of her late mother last summer. We live in DFW, so capability to check and adjust HVAC from afar seemed like something to have. After reviewing features, price, etc., the Ecobee products seemed the better fit for our needs. If you have not looked at their stuff you might want to and compare to Nest. Sadly, I have no real world experience to share as we tabled the effort. Being an older home, there's no power supply readily available to the thermostat location. Not an insurmountable problem, just more time to address it on-site than I had last time I was up there. She was really concerned last week when temps up there hit -12F. So I suspect I'll be tasked with renewing this smart thermo thing.
