So Google bricked my Nest thermostats. I need replacements and would also like to add other features. Any recommendations that aren’t Google?

I mean, the real question is how deep and what levels of "Home Automation" are you trying to accomplish?


ETA: As for thermostats, I've had good luck with my Honeywell T6Pro but it's basically just a dumb thermostat that has WiFi

Nothing too crazy, I would like to be able to control the thermostats, monitor  the water usage, cameras , doors, some windows, control some lights.

My old house had Nest E thermostats, which I really liked. Of course, they are discontinued. My current house had newer Nest thermostats, which I hate. Two of the three have failed and been replaced which Ecobee's.  So far, so good.

I use Alexa for home automation.
