Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium Plus Pack is a feature rich thermostat that shines when paired with SmartSensors for multi room comfort and smart home control. Installation is often straightforward, and the app, Google Home, HomeKit, and built in Alexa support make remote control easy. The sensors can help balance upstairs and downstairs temperatures, and the extra sensors can improve accuracy when the thermostat itself runs warm. Caveats include Eco Plus and other smart settings overriding set temperatures, occasional app sluggishness, and reports of sensor or fan quirks. A strong fit if you want room by room control and can tune the automation settings.
The thermostat can be controlled from the Ecobee app and Google Home, with built-in Alexa support.
SmartSensors can help balance upstairs and downstairs temperatures by cycling the HVAC when needed.
The Follow Me occupancy feature can use sensor occupancy to maintain the scheduled temperature based on the selected area.
Upgrading from an older ecobee model can improve app responsiveness and HVAC behavior based on room sensor readings.
Eco+ and energy-saving features can override manual set temperatures, causing the home to reach a different temperature than requested.
SmartSensor accuracy can be thrown off when moving air is near the thermostat, leading to returns.
A known fan issue can keep the fan running all the time even after turning off the system in the app.
The app can be slow to connect to the thermostat, and fast control may require Home Assistant or HomeKit.

I regret replacing my next 2nd gen with this thermo.
Some annoyances:
The energy saving setting is basically just "you set the temperature to 78, cool! We're setting it to 80 for you." Disabled it.
If you manually set a temp, it uses your home sensor settings. You can't manually tell it which sensor to currently use at a given temperature. Have to edit one of the schedule settings do to this.
If you schedule a temperature change, it is triggered a half hour before you schedule, so a change at 6 am changes at 5:30. The idea is that the room will reach the temperature by 6, but it is still something you have to work around.
A few more I can't think of, but at this point I just use it like a typical wifi connected thermostat.
