From my research, EcoBee and Honeywell Prestige are both very consistently and very highly regarded by HVAC pro’s.I ended up choosing the HW Prestige because it offered more add-on features and more overall wireless connectivity than EcoBee, and I’ve been VERY PLEASED with my choice – I got the complete Prestige 2.0 package: t-stat IAQ, EIM, RedLink system, PCC remote, outdoor…
