not.

Honeywell or Ecobee. And i am a huge google fan, but i think the nest doenst compare to these other two.

I have a honeywell. One think i really like about the ecobee is it has a remote sensor that you can set the temp to a different location rather than where the unit is. good for if you have a hot bedroom.

I like my nest, but wish it supported a remote temp sensor. I've never used the ecobee, but if performance is similar to the nest I consider it with the remote sensor.

Definitely like my 2 ecobee 3 lite's with 4 remote sensors spread around. Eventually I would like to have one in each bedroom. It works will with Amazon Alexa and my wink hub 2. My house is noticeably move comfortable now and my upstairs unit run much less than before.

Not the Honeywell Lyric. Software is a total pos. I even beta tested the Lyric and it still sucks.

Mine is currently not even online because the last 10 times I tried it will not connect to my WiFi. Same problem I had during beta they thought they fixed.

My Lyric has been absolute garbage as well. Will eventually go to the Ecobee once there is a good sale.

I like the Ecobee. Just remember to cut power to the furnace before you install the new one. I blew a fuse because I didn't do that.

I went Ecobee Lites, they added remote sensor use to them after I bought them. So now I have sensors too. I saved a bunch of money buying lites on ebay over buying the original Ecobee 3 to get sensors. I am super happy with my purchase.
