What's the technical competence of your parents?
If luddites... Hive, it's expensive but can be remotely managed and has a few issues (does not work locally if the internet is out) but one of them (isn't actually intelligent/smart) is a bonus for older people who find tech confuses them.
If intelligent and sharp... Nest, also expensive and can be remotely managed but works locally without internet and remotely. It has a learning mode which can initially confuse, as the learning mode will adjust the schedule. This can be disabled of course, the UI is easy to use and intuitive... but only intuitive to the current generation and not people who rarely use tech (this is where Hive would be it, if you're 90 and hate tech Hive seems more intuitive whilst it is working).
