Exploring Smart Thermostat Integration with SmartThings

I’ve been really curious about integrating a smart thermostat into my SmartThings ecosystem. After doing some research, I’ve narrowed it down to either the Nest or Ecobee3. I’m particularly interested in how these thermostats can work seamlessly with SmartThings, especially with features like auto-away and managing multiple zones through remote sensors. From what I understand, the Nest can learn my temperature preferences and adjust accordingly, but I’m not entirely sure how it handles multiple zones compared to the Ecobee3. I also have a whole-home dehumidifier, so I’m wondering if these thermostats can integrate with that system effectively. It seems like a significant investment, but the potential benefits in energy efficiency and convenience are pretty compelling. I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with either of these thermostats, especially in a SmartThings setup. Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated!
