Honeywell has several Models that are Alexa / Google capable.
No subscriptions required.
We just had the Honeywell T10 installed.
Totally simple and their app is excellent.
Contact Michael Labanz (member on this forum) he installs them and shows you all the info.

I have thought about it but with the irregular schedule my wife and I keep it seemed impractical. It is not like when we went to work and were away from the house for 10 hours during the day. We are in and out all day long and pass the t-stat when going to bed at night. What is the advantage if you live here?

We had Munn’s install a Nest Thermostat 2 years ago we are very happy with it.

I replaced my carrier thermostat with a Honeywell WiFi thermostat. Required installing a new multiple wire cable between air handler in the garage to the thermostat. The carrier thermostat installed when the house was built used a 2 wire cable between air handler and the carrier thermostat. I could have swapped the carrier thermostat for a WiFi capable thermostat, I did not want to be locked in with carrier only options.

When I had mine installed, the electrician had to do a small rewire in the garage. I used Munns and their package including Nest, installation and 2-year warranty was great.

We replaced our thermostat with the Nest about three years ago. It’s very simple to install. As seasonal residents we can control the temperature and humidity remotely with the Nest app on our I phone. It’s very slick, have not had any problems.

We had Nest for two years and found it frustrating to use. It is not easy to adjust manually. I'm comfortable with technology but thought the thermostat was unnecessarily complicated. As noted in another response, you cannot set a specific temperature but only a range (which admittedly can be limited to 3 degrees). It seemed that the furnace was kicking in more often than necessary cooling, then heating, then cooling. We are pleased to have moved to a house without a Nest and would not consider one again. To be fair, perhaps an updated model has worked out some of the bugs.

We did but not cheap. Needed an electrician as the wires you need are in the wall but not loose the thermostat that our house had did not need those wires

We had two Nest thermostats at our last house. Easy to install. Worked flawlessly and worked well with Alexa and rule based apps such as IFTT.

My husband installed Ecobee in our new home. No need to install a second unit in another room. We have sensors in every room and it can be set so it only senses temps in rooms that you are occupying. Can be changed for all different times of the day via computer or phone app. We're very happy with it.

I have an Ecobee in my home in The Villages and a Nest in my other home. Installed them both myself, fairly easy process using their respective apps. If you are doing the install yourself, take pictures of the wiring connection on the back of your existing thermostat before removing. If you have a problem installing, you can always look at the picture and return to the original thermostat.

I like them both, would pick the Ecobee over Nest if I had to choose one. Both work with Alexa, and I have routines set that shut my lights off, turn my speakers off, and lower the thermostat to my preferred sleeping temperature all by saying "Alexa, I am going to sleep". How did we ever live without this?

We have a nest and love it. We have it tied with with our Google home and and change it using voice commands. Very efficient and can also operate with my phone, Rey happy with it.

We put one in our summer home. It sends us aN alarm if the temperature is too high or too low. Plus we get a monthly usage report. We like it.

I’d go with an ecobee. I had a a Nest for the last ten years. It never really learned my routine, so I ended up just programming a fixed schedule. And not having a simple “hold temp” function can be frustrating at times. I think Google let them wither after they bought Nest. Not much new in quite a while.

We did with a nest. Works great.
