Ecobee3 Review - 6 Months Later

A review of the Ecobee3, how it compares to the Nest Learning Thermostat and why Ecobee's decision to bake Amazon's Alexa directly into the Ecobee4 could spell trouble for all of our smart homes.  

*Update*
As of 11/14/17 Ecobee has now added Google Assistant Support: https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp...

*Correction*
I incorrectly stated that the remote sensors capture humidity data.  Unfortunately only the thermostat itself captures indoor humidity data.
