Ecobee SmartThermostat review

For more than a decade, Ecobee has slugged it out with Nest in the battle for smart thermostat supremacy. Nest's design and simple ring control has achieved near-iconic status, but we'd argue that Ecobee is the more innovative of the two. Four...

Simple installation Excellent performance and feature set Easy to configure and operate day-to-day Numerous voice control and communication features Great speaker

Hardware design remains a little drab No onscreen integration for Alexa

Absolutely. Ecobee4 owners don’t need to rush to upgrade, but if you’re upgrading an older smart home thermostat or looking for your first, this is the one to buy.

Ecobee SmartThermostat (2019) review

The SmartThermostat with Voice Control is Ecobee's new high-end smart thermostat. At $249 (including one temperature sensor), the price is steep, but Ecobee gave this model some additional smarts that make it worth considering. The Ecobee4 will...

The Ecobee SmartThermostat adds features to its built-in Alexa speaker. It has a redesigned temperature sensor and works with Google Assistant and Siri -- all for the same $249 price.

Depending on where your thermostat is located in your home, it might not be in an ideal place for an Alexa speaker.

Ecobee's SmartThermostat is a solid device that's well worth considering if you want a connected thermostat with a built-in Alexa speaker.

Ecobee SmartThermostat with voice control review: Ecobee’s fifth-gen device is its best yet

Ecobee's smart thermostats are consistently among our top picks, and the overhaul that produced this fifth-generation product is as welcome as it is unexpected. In other words, we didn't think the Alexa-powered Ecobee could get much better—but it has....

A full hardware makeover renders this elegant thermostat even smarter and more responsive A strong app and an excellent touchscreen interface on the device itself make it supremely easy to use The new sensor is smaller and better, with improved range,...

Alexa integration can be annoying if you already have an Echo (or other Alexa-powered device) within earshot It could be easier to program complex schedules (if that's something you feel the need for)

Ecobee SmartThermostat review

The Ecobee4 was one of the first best Alexa compatible devices that wasn't a smart speaker first. It was a clever idea, one that several other companies have adopted. However, that thermostat lacked some of Alexa's core functions, and the speaker...

Better speaker Full Alexa support Improved remote sensors Works with Spotify

Large Big bezel

Ecobee has beefed up Alexa and the speaker quality in the company's newest smart thermostat.

Overall, the is quite a good wifi thermostat that should disappoint. It can't quite match the sleek and stylish design of certain round models but it's a great option if you love the idea of having an Alexa device right on your wall and value increased...
