We are now more than a decade into the smart home era of consumer technology. If you have an Amazon Alexa or other branded smart home hub, there’s a lot of cool stuff you can do with routines or just the power of your voice. Adjusting the lights in your living room when you pop on a movie or new episode of your favorite show, brew coffee at a scheduled time every morning, have a robot vacuum and mop the floors of your home, and much more.
Well one of those awesome things you can do is control the temperature of your home. The Amazon Smart Thermostat does exactly that for you, can pair with your Alexa device, and right now it’s even on sale. As part of a limited time deal, you can grab it for just $56 —a 30% discount.
Save Energy and Money
It’s quick and easy to switch over from a traditional thermostat to a smart one, and doing so can help reduce your energy usage. The Amazon Smart Thermostat supports temperature sensors. You may not have known this, but Echo devices that are 4th or 5th generation have temperature sensors build into them. If you have several throughout your house, the Amazon Smart Sensor can get a much more accurate read on what the temperature is like throughout your home as opposed to just the area right in front of it.
Being a smart thermostat, it can be fully controlled through Amazon Alexa. You might find yourself a little chilly on the couch, but the blanket is all the way over there. You don’t wanna get up. Adjust the temperature from your phone in the Alexa app. Or better yet, just ask Alexa to turn up the thermostat by a degree or two so you can be cozy again.
You can even set the thermostat to follow schedules, switching the temperature based on the time of day or even identify when you are home or away.
This does require a C-Wire to function. If you do not have one, there is also a bundle option which includes a C-Wire power adapter. You can get that for $78 or buy a C-Wire adapter elsewhere separately.
If already have a C-Wire, then great news. The Amazon Smart Thermostat on its own is a solid 30% off bringing the price down to just $56. This is part of a limited time deal as we lead up into October’s Prime Day. According to EPA estimates, Energy Star certified thermostats save an average of $50 on yearly energy bills. Plus after your purchase, Amazon will send you an email with details about rebates from energy providers in your area so you can save even more.
