You buy an ecobee for its realtime smart logic, so an internet of some sort is needed, get something with slow speeds to save money. Ecobee offers you many reports each month or in realtime. You need an iPad and the option in ecobee is Home IQ. Not sure if anybody would need more reporting than these. You will get alerts automatically if your thresholds like humidity is reached. If you are a snowbird, then you must turn on eco+. This will provide you savings.
My whole house is automated and if I was a snowbird, my house would be automated too. For example, you can buy devices that you put under each sink, laundry room, and kitchen that alerts you if it senses water. Better yet, if any of these water senses gets wet, it can automatically turn on a device that shuts off you main water supply so you don’t come home in a flooded house.
