Yep, all my smart thermostats are zugbee. No phoning home by design, so I don't have to worry about missing functionality by not giving them internet connection.
And that goes for almost all my smart home. I only have wifi things when I couldn't find a realistic zigbee option.
Yeah, the zwave/zigbee options tend to be more barebones on the local display, so I very carfeully looked at the wifi options to find the best of both worlds.
Of course my opengarage is wifi based too, but that's fine.
Nothing against wifi, just it's so difficult to tell a 'local wifi' from a 'cloud wifi' device.
