Hi,
If you do want to pay for any software, there is the ST stock device that is available for free.
However, it lacks basic features to make it useful for HA scenarios.

Hi,
Following the new release I sent this weekend, MyEcobee device should be able to run for weeks (and probably for months) without any auth issues (provided that the ST cloud backend is not failing on us) as I’ve implemented some extended watchdog workarounds so that My Service Manager can run despite the current ST scheduler issues.

Ecobee has the best APIs (for the moment).
