Ecobee
I love my Ecobee, which allows remote control via mobile app.
Ecobee has remote sensors that allow you to control what room(s) determine the temperature. You can set up a schedule. For example, on weekdays, it uses the sensor in my home office. In the evening, it uses the sensor in the den. At night, it uses the sensor in the bedroom. All on a single zone.
It comes with one remote sensor; I bought two additional sensors so that I can schedule 4 rooms. You can set up multiple rooms during a period so the average is used. You can choose "follow-me" via motion detection. Very powerful.
One note: the main unit thermometer is so sensitive that I had to plug the hole behind the unit with plumbers putty because cold air from the basement was affecting the reading!
The website provides detailed reports of system usage, so you can see charts of on-off vs outdoor temp, total runtime, etc.
Overall, it's great.
