I think it's great you folks are finding solutions that work for you
....but honestly I don't understand the interest in digital. Too easy to get caught up in the places after the decimal.... I mean really, I could care less if it's 68 degrees or 69 degrees.

I do understand though some of the interest in automation. Something I've wanted a long time in the RV is a remote AC control on the dash. I added a genny switch a long time ago so I can start and shut down the genny from behind the wheel, but I have no way of controlling the AC (or for that matter the fridge, furnace, water heater,...) and I sure would like to.
Not long ago I switched out my house thermostats to ecobee thermostats, to work with Alexa. I like them. Nice features, work well, good app on the phone. I do kinda wish I'd have gone with nest though, mainly because nest has better sister components such as video doorbells, smoke detectors, cameras...and the google home system, as far as I can tell, is far better than Alexa.
Just too much money though for me, just to get remote control capability...especially since I may not always be running my hotspot for wifi...or have usable bandwidth to the net.
