The release notes for the newly-released firmware version 4.17 for the Infinity thermostat (https://www.myinfinitytouch.carrier.com/Content/docs/v0417-20220427.pdf) have "Updated cloud connection interface to MQTT improving the response time between mobile and wall control from approximately 45-60 seconds to 2-5 seconds" as the first line of the "Feature Enhancements" section. I haven't tried yet, but I suspect this will completely break Infinitude. :(

@secabeen @johnataravir - Considering a new installation and going back and forth between Carrier and Lennox -- access and control from HA is high on my must include list. I'm just curious what you've found after the update on April 30th?

Sorry to say, but I ended up moving before the 30th, so I don't have any new information. I will say that, for new installs, there's an option in some cases with Carrier to have an Ecobee control the system directly, without a Carrier thermostat in the mix at all. I'm not sure which systems support that, but it might be worth a look. Ecobee has great remote sensors, a robust API, HomeKit, Google and Alexa support, etc.
