Smart thermostats are no better than $30 programmable thermostats, which don't randomly change temps and don't rely on servers. I'm a sucker who bought one.
No, that's demonstrably untrue. The way smart thermostats can make better decisions about temperature management does lower energy usage even on traditional setups. They're essential on heat pumps in colder climates.
