I stopped using wifi t-stats and would never go back. Just a good quality, simple t-stat is all you need.
I'm going to disagree because I think remote control, whether from your bed or across the country, is invaluable, but maybe we agree that the "smart" or "learning" stuff is mostly useless. I like to set the temp myself, though I think my ecobees are pretty smart about an upcoming scheduled temp change and they start heating or cooling a bit sooner so that the temp reaches the setpoint at the scheduled time. I also like collecting all of the temp, humidity, and runtime data mostly because I'm a data freak but also because I can use it for stuff.

I think the value in a good thermostat is not only in the remote control from anywhere but also geolocation of switching from away/home mode. I agree the smart and learning stuff is too much because its very rare you have the same schedule every day forever. When I leave home though, not having to worry about setting my thermostat is absolutely huge.
