What are you wanting to do? It's dead simple with nest.

I'm a Nest fan but haven't used ecobee. Google owns nest and ecobee would be 
the one to be acquired between these two.
Also, $5600 seems very high for 11 thermostats. Are there more parts to it that 
I'm missing?

One of the young whippersnappers at an organization I work with is all 

gung-ho on replacing all 11 thermostats in the building (Boiler with 

multiple zones, and multiple RTU's) with ecobee thermostats that can be 

remotely controlled and scheduled.  Total price for everything is 

running about $5600 (parts only)  He's worked with ecobee before, so he 

really likes it.



Has anyone worked with ecobee before?  Are there similar systems to 

compare it to?  The Goal is to allow the office to control/schedule the 

thermostats based on room usage.  We found one room that was set to 90 

over the weekend last week.  I'm concerned that ecobee would be bought, 

merged into someone else, and you suddenly have nice wall mounted 

thermostats that can't be remotely managed anymore because the cloud 

went away.
