Been very happy with the Ecobee. This was a recommendation from Everlast's preferred furnace installer as he's found it caused fewer problems from a furnace perspective. This was alongside a new furnace install. Being professionally installed it's also setup to utilize 1st and 2nd stage heating, as well as the humidifier. All of this system activity can be viewed in logs which is interesting to see. Maybe it's the new furnace, maybe it's the Ecobee - but in 16 years this house has never felt more comfortable temperature wise.
The remote temp / occupancy sensors have been great. Alexa integration is handy as the latest version functions as an Alexa device. I think the "EcoPlus" feature is some sort of leaning mode like Nests, but you can dial back the aggressiveness of it if needed.
And it's a Canadian company, so there's that.
