With smart thermostat technology, you can control your HVAC system from anywhere as long as your mobile device is connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. It also lets you come up with more sophisticated schedules that impact your comfort and household budget.
While smart thermostats offer comparable features, different models usually have their individual selling points. Here’s a list of the top models, which have excellent features that are worth the money.
Ecobee Smart Thermostat with Voice Control
This Ecobee thermostat offers intuitive programming and a terrific app. It measures your home’s temperature in different spots thanks to its multipurpose sensors, which you can place in various rooms. The quality speaker has Alexa built in. The Ecobee works well with the popular home-automation systems.
Nest Thermostat E
The Thermostat E offers impressive high-end features at a midrange price. The learning function makes temperature adjustments based on your daily routine. The geofencing feature enables the device to turn down the AC or heat whenever you leave your house.
Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Generation
Nest’s flagship smart thermostat has a lot in common with the Thermostat E, such as excellent learning capabilities, geofencing, and seamless integration with Google Nest devices. However, it’s made of stainless steel and glass, as opposed to E’s white plastic, and it comes with a longer warranty.
This Nest thermostat has a high-contrast display for easy readability, unlike that of the Thermostat E, which can be hard to read because of its low contrast. As you’d expect, the Learning Thermostat is pricier than the E.
Emerson Sensi Thermostat
If you want an affordable yet high-quality smart thermostat, then you’ll love this Emerson Wi-Fi thermostat. While it’s budget-friendly and resembles a traditional thermostat more than a smart device, it offers many of the high-end features that significantly costlier models provide.
It works with Alexa, allows for geofencing, and generates energy-usage reports. It also notifies you when your home has extreme humidity or temperature conditions.
The smart thermostat technology available via the listed devices provides improved comfort, convenience, and energy savings.
