Doesn't have to be learning, needs to look good - will need four of them. Some programability is ok as long as it doesn't require a degree in computer or electrical engineering to work.

Will be replacing older generation Nests. Is the stuff the pros sell better than consumer grade from Lowe's/HD, etc? I'm sure my HVAC company is going to have some recs - just looking for some background info. Thanks in advance.

You can also get the remote sensor for another area— tell the main stat to only look at the sensor, or average between main stat and sensor,

OR

Just don’t get the auxillary sensor

WiFi controllable thermostat


Isn't that how the government/utilities can control your thermostat?

The HVAC techs on the HVAC-Talk AOP forum to a man recommend Honeywell or Ecobee and to avoid Nests at all costs. Of course there are many Honeywell or Ecobee WiFi models you can chose from based on your needs. FWIW, I have a Honeywell.

I stopped using wifi t-stats and would never go back. Just a good quality, simple t-stat is all you need.

Got rid of my wifi t-stat years ago. Well insulated house, leave it on one temp all the time, AC doesn't have to "catch up" to lower temp. If I'm leaving for days, then I turn it up a few degrees.

Check your utility providers website as well.

Entergy has thermostats for discounted prices through their website.
