What do you have that you like?! 
At the moment I’ve got An EcoBee3 thermostat and a few Wemo switches.
My “network” of Hue bulbs is very reliable.
The Ecobee3 – not so much. It sits 8 feet in front of the nearest Eero and yet at least daily disconnects itself from the network. Go figure.

I have various Hue bulbs and accessories that work well.
- Ambience that can range from cold white to warm white
- Spotlights for front and back yards
- Plain white bulbs
- Motion sensors to automate some lights
- Light strips under our kitchen cabinets to illuminate the counters
- These VOCOlinc strip lights work well. I have one installed along the baseboard of our stairs, and have one of the motion sensors turn them on, 1% at night, 50% during the day.
For the record, my Ecobee works fine.

How does the EcoBee compare to the Nest, feature-wise? I have a Nest but I’d prefer to get away from Google, and my wife has trouble using the Nest.

Not sure yet, I’ve only had the EcoBee 2 days. But seems pretty solid so far?
I’ve got the 3, there are a couple newer ones:
Just checked, I have the 4, which works fine. You might be able to get a deal through your power company. Mine offered $100 off, I think it was.

Do you have your Eero connected to HomeKit? I have two Ecobee’s and after I updated my Linksys to support HomeKit I started having issues with my Ecobee’s too. I had to change the settings and give the Ecobee’s more permissions for them to work correctly. I agent had a problem since.
More?
Under WiFi Network and Routers I had to change my Ecobee’s setting to “No Restrictions”. When set to “Auto” my basement thermostat would loose connection to the network.

My Lutron Caseta. Have been bulletproof in two homes now.
I shy away from smart bulbs now if I can place the control elsewhere. This
gives me a wide variety of dimmable bulbs to choose from.

And a lot of energy companies offer a partial rebate on them.
