We got a new furnace/AC/heat pump last year and with it a wifi thermostat - a Trane XL1050. It works fine (though is slow, especially on rebooting) and the phone app works fine (but it's a pain to have to sign in with my fingerprint every time (the fingerprint reader on my S20+ is temperamental)).
That uses something called Z-Wave for automation comms. We don't have any other "smart home" stuff enabled and don't even use voice assistant stuff. We're becoming luddites about a lot of that stuff. ;-) So, I haven't looked into any sort of system for running anything else. Yet.
Cheers,
Scott.
