Ah my definition of smart thermostat is one that is IoT. We’ve had the offline, scheduling and multistage compatible for decades.

Definitely agree on the UI experience. Apps are nicer.

    Right, I know the language around this makes it a little difficult. Old thermostats don't necessarily have electronics more sophisticated than a relay and a bimetalic strip. But having a small computer in there doesn't necessarily mean it has to be online.
