Easy
Peasy
You can add the app to apple or android device. Program as many zone settings as you need, as well as temperature settings for each. Can control sitting on your lanai, or anywhere in the world.

Will give you insight on your usage, and how your system is working. The humidity in your home. With alerts on temp setting too high or low.

It called a smart system for a reason, no reason to spend money on one if one is just going to turn on/off temp up/down, a dial stat for $10 can do just that.

Even my 90yo parent can use ecobee with phone, even without one of helping.

I have cameras outside of the house so no ring doorbell needed. Can’t help, but utube can
