Performance

The Ecobee SmartThermostat’s ability to carry out plans—whether it’s via voice, app, touchscreen, or scheduling—is why it’s one of the top performance options. Its remote sensors in particular are incredibly sensitive to your presence, making adjustments on the fly if it detects individuals in or around the room. The Glas Smart Thermostat doesn’t even come with a separate sensor.

Advanced Features

Geofencing should be a natural feature of any smart thermostat, which the Ecobee has in spades. Called Smart Home Away, the Ecobee can adjust heating cooling whenever a presence is sensed. If you’re away, it can drop the temperature (to a safe degree) to save energy, then raise it when you get home.

Ease of Use

You can be as hands-on or as hands-off as you want to be with the Ecobee SmartThermostat. It’s Amazon Alexa Built-In, but has no problems connecting with other leading voice control platforms like Apple Homekit, Google, IFTTT, and SmartThings. You can make changes via the Ecobee app, or go old school and use the touch screen.

Ease of Install

Like the Honeywell Home T9, the Ecobee SmartThermostat wants to make life as easy as possible. When installing, the Ecobee has kindly added a C wire bundled inside to provide as much compatibility with most homes as possible. Once wired in, it’s intuitive Ecobee app makes the rest of the process that much easier.

Value

Compared to the Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat, you’re getting a far better value with the new Ecobee Smart Thermostats. It isn’t just because they’re new, but the new sensor is a step up in terms of performance, not to mention the overall better energy savings. Why buy the older model when the new voice control Ecobee Thermostats are available, right? You can also go for a thermostat with a classy design like the Glas Smart Thermostat, which not only looks good but works great.

Ecobee SmartThermostat With Voice Control Wrap Up

Having the Ecobee SmartThermostat With Voice Control at your fingertips will certainly make you feel like you have full control over your HVAC system. With scheduling, geofencing, and its intuitive smart sensors, saving energy has never been easier. It can even play music! That does come with a hefty cost, however, but worth it.
