I though you might like to know that Ecobee, a Canadian company, has announced a new version of their smart wifi thermostat, the Ecobee 3.
https://www.ecobee.com/
Major upgrade to the looks of the thermostat--and it now works with a remote sensor. In my house the thermostat is in one of the least-used rooms (dining room). Something like the Nest would think that the house is unoccupied 90%+ of the time!! The Ecobee 3 comes with one remote sensor and you can have up to 32 in total. This lets it do a couple of cool new features they're calling "Follow Me" and "Smart Home/Away". Check the web site for details.
I've got the current Ecobee and they're apparently going to offer an upgrade deal. The other thing that swung me towards the Ecobee was the tracking and reporting available through their web portal. You can see day by day (or even hour by hour) how long your heating/cooling systems were running. Make a change and you can see the results in an hour or two. It also provides stats comparing your results to that of similar size houses in the same area. Heating and cooling costs are a big part of a household budget and they're not going to get smaller in the future!
The Ecobee 3 is supposed to be released on September 30 and they're taking pre-orders now.
