Years ago Honeywell used to have good tutorial on website. You tell them what you want and it would show thermostats that fit. Not sure if it still there...
Can anyone recommend a WiFi thermostat for a small house on a heat pump?

Thanks, I don't trust items when the product is switched to a different mfg.Honeywell spun their thermostats off to Resideo.

It’s really the same company, people and plants, just a different name, CEO and stock.
My experience with internet required wifi thermostats is if you don't have a reliable internet connection or when the vendor decides to stop supporting the service you suddenly have an expensive POS brick on your wall that doesn't work at all when the device can't call home.
Applies to all IoT devices.
Don't forget this - the "S" in IoT stands for Security.

My thoughts also, that's why I was waiting to get reliable internet and vendor.
Before the internet wasn't reliable, now it is pretty good.
Before I was going to get a Honeywell, now it looks like I would have to rely on a "spin off".
The wi-fi thermostat that I have installed works whether online or not. app on phone or computer can control functions and thermostat displays outdoor temp and humidity through a site programmed into t-stat. No outside vendor has access.

I got a message from my rent house Ecobee last evening that the temperature exceeded the setpoint. I went to my account (no fee) to see that the temperature had been tracking the setpoint the last few days as expected. So something happened yesterday morning. I suspect a tripped breaker; the thermostat only knows that it was calling for AC. I turned the unit off remotely; no reason for it to run.
The Ecobee account records outside and inside temperatures, setpoint, and equipment runtimes.
