I understand this a popular opinion for IOT naysayers, but HVAC is one of the few features where IOT seems to make sense. It can cause a noticeable change in the cost of your utilities and general comfort.

- nonplus 8y agoI'm with mvid. The benefits to the average user far outweigh the negatives. It's unfortunate that for me using something like an ecobee requires a sandboxed network connection to protect my other devices from the ecobee and vis-a-vis, but that's how it goes in 2019. We are not as security conscientious as we need to be yet. Or we can all live in caves in isolation. That's okay too I guess.
