Nest is about the worst option out there. you have to jump through so many hoops to use it and you can't even use many of the features after doing so. ecobee is OK but they are no longer giving people access to their local API so you can only use it through HomeKit. I would just go find one that works with Zigbee or Z-wave if you want a robust long-term solution that does not rely on external Internet access
