I have a couple Nests and a couple Ecobees. In summary, they're both frustrating. An HVAC contractor told me (and it rings true), the ecobee is like hvac peeps figured out the interwebs, and the nest is like internet peeps figured out HVAC.

I don't think the Nest has any options for local control though, so HomeKit on the Ecobee seems like a win, but I got distracted before I figured out how to do what I want with HomeAssistant.

The Nest does better fan scheduling IMHO, although neither one does anything smart with sequencing multiple units, which is really frustrating.
