[HH] home automation connected thermostat

[Tom Metro]

Any people on the list with experience with thermostats that interface
with home automation gear?

This market was moving along slowly until Nest showed up, and then it
seemed to take off in a big way. I haven't looked at the choices closely
in a few years.

Personally I'm less interested in a solution like Nest that aims to be a
stand-alone device, with an emphasis on style. I'd rather something that
has less built-in functionality and good connectivity with home
automation gear, using either WiFi, Z-Wave, or ZigBee.
