Best Smart Thermostats

Having a smart thermostat is nice, but constantly programming it… not so much. The Google Nest learning thermostat is double smart in the way that it learns from your habits – and can program itself.

If you want a perfect microclimate at your home – and also want to save up – look no further than this device. The Nest is designed to reduce your energy bills while taking full control over your heating/cooling system. In fact, you can pay 10-12% less for the heat and up to 15% less for the cooling. Time to spend the money on something better than the bills.

Installing this device is super easy, so there’s no real need to call in a professional. Simply follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and you’ll be using it in under 30 minutes. A small life hack: if still not sure about your actions, combine the installation manual with online video tutorials.

When you’ve connected the wires, take a good look at your freshly installed thermostat – because it’s worth it. The Nest has a sleek modern design and doesn’t stick out or look heavy. The digits on the screen are big enough to be readable at a glance.

The Ecobee3 lite Smart Thermostat is the kind of model that has all of its advantages put in the name. The "eco" part of that name is right on the money since this nifty little device will allow you to receive up to 23% savings on heating and cooling costs (depending on your settings). The "smart" part is there not just for show either. The model works with just about any iOS and Android device, even including the Apple Watch. Furthermore, with the help of Amazon Echo, you will be able to just ask Alexa to adjust the temperature settings without standing up from your chair or using your smart device.

Of course, these compatibilities are all well and good, but they wouldn't be enough to justify the said "smart" part. On that note, we would like to point out the set of alerts and reminders. The manufacturers made sure to incorporate those in order to offer their customers a certain peace of mind. Simply put, the WiFi thermostat senses when something doesn't work at all or doesn't work according to your programming and sends a convenient alert to your smart device. There's also the vacation mode that the device automatically adjusts to whenever you leave the house, a rather sophisticated solution that allows you to save a considerable amount of money in the long run. Finally, in terms of HVAC compatibility, the model works with most residential heating and cooling systems.

All in all, the Ecobee3 lite Smart Thermostat is all about saving money and offering convenient ways to control the temperature around the house. Plus, the installation process is extremely easy since all you need for it is included in the package.

Emerson Sensi is the perfect example of how something so simple-looking can offer just about anything you would want out of a wireless thermostat. Simply download the Sensi app and you will have access to a rich number of features that the model comes equipped with. The said features include the ability to remotely control the temperature in your home. They also include geofencing technology. As some of you may know, this technology identifies the location of your smartphone and adjusts the temperature according to that location.

People lead all kinds of lives, which is why it's a good thing that this product comes equipped with the sort of technologies that will allow you to program a schedule for each day of the week. And since the model receives convenient weather updates, figuring out that schedule will be particularly easy. The app's interface is another example of something so simple that can be so effective. For instance, the app changes the color of its background to let you know at a single glance whether your home system is heating or cooling. It also sends you alerts whenever the wireless thermostat detects inconvenient or extreme changes in temperature or humidity. Finally, the app automatically adjusts between the cooling and the heating mode in order to keep the user as comfortable as possible. Its HVAC compatibility coverage is superb. On top of that, the model's also compatible with the iPhone, iPad, any Android device, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit (the c-wire is required), Google assistant and wink smart home platforms.

All in all, we would recommend the Emerson Sensi wireless thermostat to just about any customer who is looking to get as many convenient features as possible for the most affordable price. Plus, the model's sleek, minimalist design will look great on any wall.

Installing this thermostat won’t be any trouble, and you can skip the electrician’s visit. Just make sure you have the latest version of the Alexa app, which will guide your every step with text and pictures. No need to be tech savvy to integrate this device into your HVAC system. When all is done, Alexa will make contact with the thermostat and set it up in about 2 minutes. Yes, it’s this level of “easy”.

But that’s not all. Knowing your personal preferences, Alexa will be programming the device for you. Say “bye” to the constant indoor temperature that only drains your wallet when you’re out. It only takes a hunch for your smart voice assistant to adjust the temp in case you’re in, out, or asleep.

Want to set the heating/cooling schedules yourself? Use the app to do it on the go – or the Alexa-enabled device while you’re at home. This thermostat lets you control the indoor climate just the way you want.

There are just thermostats – and smart thermostats. The Wyze Wi-Fi unit lets you monitor and schedule the indoor temperature from anywhere and anytime. It also gives you a practical insight as to how you can save up on the energy bills.

First off, this thermostat is a pleasure to install – and will be ready in under 30 minutes. All you have to do is follow the in-app guide (yes, you do need to install the Wyze app). No need for special skills or calling in a professional; most customers will be able to set it up from the first try. The 90% of home systems are compatible with this thermostat, and there’s even a C-wire adapter included in the box.

The best thing about the Wyze is that you can control it from anywhere you want. The app is the key to managing your temperature from the office, car, or a vacation hotel room. You’ll only need a Wi-Fi connection for the app, and the rest is up to you.

Why is this important? Unfortunately, many house owners tend to overpay for heating/cooling when they don’t really need it. With the remote control over the HVAC system, you can keep the pets warm while you’re away – or spare the heat if the house stays empty for a while.
