> I've even written some small utilities to monitor their API

Is their API local to the unit or "in the cloud?"

Unfortunately it is cloud based (signalr), so if they decide to close the service, my Wi-Fi thermostat becomes a basic programmable thermostat. I haven't yet sniffed the traffic between the thermostat and their servers to see if it would be possible to replace their service with my own.
