We have had a Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat at home for a few years. Any time it loses connectivity to Wi-Fi, it sends us an Email advising it lost connection. It sends another Email when it reconnects. It has the same remote ability to change any setting from a smart phone.
It cost $100.00 when we bought it compared to $250.00 for the Nest. The only function it doesn't have compared to the Nest is the ability to sense when someone is or isn't home and adjust the temp setting accordingly. Since we would never use that function anyway, the Honeywell was a no brainer.
