I have one of those app connected thermostats. Once in a while I use the app to change the temp, but most of the time I walk over to the thermostat and adjust it up and down by pushing a couple of buttons.
The one "home connected" device I like is for my garage door opener. My car has a built in function (once you program it) to open and close the garage door, but sometimes I leave the house through the garage without taking my car. I can open or close the garage door using the phone app. Pretty handy. It also tells me whether the door is open or closed which can be helpful.
