    For a thermostat that’s built into a house, 16 years doesn’t seem long enough, tbh. A ‘dumb’ thermostat can easily be in use for 30+ years before anyone would even consider replacing it.

    But yeah, as you said, if it’s connected to the internet you have to worry about software patches, certificates, etc.
