I switched out three Honeywell TCC thermostats in the spring with Ecobee. All in all, the Ecobee units are great and work well with HASS. I use the cloud API integration and have some automation that kicks set-back in a bit quicker than 2 hours like the t-stats do natively when we are out of the house.
The only regret I have is I bought the higher end model, but should have bought the cheaper ones - I don't (and won't) use the built-in Alexa, don't need the C wire kit, and the VOC/CO2 sensor is garbage.
The remote temp/occupancy sensors are great and do help balance out temperatures when the t-stat doesn't cover all rooms very effectively.
