The Honeywell Home T9 is the best smart thermostat for larger Canadian homes with multiple rooms — its optional Smart Room Sensors detect which rooms are actually occupied and adjust heating/cooling accordingly, preventing the common problem of heating an empty basement while the living room gets ignored. Works with Alexa, Google, and Apple HomeKit.
