I have a PC that is that old, still works fine. I have clients with production systems older than that. I have buildings with elevator controls that are from the 50s. We all do tech here right? It’s a simple infra stack to store settings for a device and report on them once in a while. No one is sitting at home and doomscrolling their ecobee thermostat for temperature updates. I expect the cloud infra needed to support the thermostat to be so cheap at this point that it’s completely irrelevant. I expect that ecobee spend more money on coffee than the infra needed. Fact is I bet that a free aws account can service a significant portion of the demand. I can connect up to 100 wyze cams to my account and store footage and remotely access them for the huge sum of 7$/mo. You are telling me thermostat configs are harder to handle? Bullshit.
