Better alternatives to Nest

I have a rental unit in my house and thought a smart thermostat would be a good option since I don’t have to put an intimidating lock box around the thermostat. I can get a Wi-Fi thermostat at substantial savings from National Grid LI NY. I have a gas fired boiler with hydronic heating two zones, one for the rental unit. Are there better alternatives to a Nest? What does the community think?

    I like and have had good luck with Ecobee. Easy to install and understand.

    Love our Ecobee. Very customizable but also easy to use.
