Ecobee SmartThermostat
The fifth-generation Ecobee SmartThermostat includes all of the features of its predecessor, the Ecobee4, including Alexa integration, a nice touchscreen interface, and a remote sensor that ensures all of your home's rooms are adequately heated or cooled. However, the most recent version includes a better speaker that can be used to play music, as well as all of Alexa's functions (including Drop-In and messaging) and Spotify integration. The remote sensor has a longer battery life as well as a greater range.
The Ecobee's audio isn't as good as the Echo Dot or other Alexa speakers, but it's a novel way to have Alexa in a room without having to plug in another smart speaker. The Ecobee is not just one of the greatest smart home gadgets you can buy, but it's also top pick for all of the best smart thermostats.
