HomeKit and more
In our review of the ecobee SmartThermostat, we hailed it as one of the best smart home purchases you can make — and the latest premium model takes things even further. Outside of remote controls over your home's heating and air, the ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium features a built-in microphone that allows you to summon Siri or Alexa. The ecobee SmartThermostat also includes a remote room-temperature sensor, radar occupancy detection, AirPlay 2 speaker compatibility, and even air quality monitoring.
Wide screen
Emerson's Sensi Touch thermostat features a sizeable widescreen touch display, making on-device adjustments quick and easy. Speaking of changes, the Sensi Touch has quick access shortcuts to standard features, such as turning on your house fan directly from the home screen. The Sensi Touch also includes a backlight option that lights the area around it at night, preventing it from lighting up your room.
Cost-effective
The iDevices Smart Thermostat holds the crown as the most affordable HomeKit thermostat. Don't let its low cost fool you though; this thermostat has all the convenience features, such as automation, that all HomeKit thermostats have. Easy to use up and down touch controls sit on the front of the thermostat, and a small LCD puts the current temperature point front and center.
Customizable comfort
The Lux Kono provides a unique take on the traditional thermostat design with the ability to swap its faceplate. If one of the nine styles doesn't fit your decor, you can use an available paintable faceplate to make it just right. On the front is a handy dial for making quick adjustments to your home's temperature with a turn, just like turning up and down the volume on a radio.
Complete coverage
Like the ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium, the Honeywell Home T9 includes a remote room sensor that enables complete home coverage. With remote sensors, you can tune your home's heating and air for just your bedroom, or your thermostat can average all of your rooms to optimize comfort across the house.
Powerful and private
ecobee's lower-cost thermostat gives users the basics of smart home capabilities without the bells and whistles. However, just because the thermostat doesn't come with a remote room sensor like its expensive sibling doesn't make it the worse choice. They are still compatible, making it easy to expand things if needed. The ecobee Smart Thermostat Enhanced also strips out the microphone and Alexa, perfect for those looking for an intelligent solution without sacrificing their privacy.
HomeKit thermostats make heating and cooling your home a breeze
Having one of the best HomeKit thermostats in your home enables some pretty cool features, such as voice control and scheduling. HomeKit also lets you tie in your new thermostat with other accessories, like the best HomeKit door locks, bringing things to life through automation and scenes. Of course, nothing is cooler than cranking up the heater from the comforts of your bed on-demand through the Home app, which all of our picks provide.
The ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium combines HomeKit with intelligent home and room monitoring, allowing the thermostat to adjust automatically to the temperature in the rooms you care about the most. This thermostat is straightforward to install, so you can experience HomeKit bliss without calling an electrician. It even acts as a Siri and Alexa voice assistant thanks to an onboard microphone and speaker.
Are you looking for an option that puts design at the forefront? Then check out the Lux Kono, which offers nine styles and colors and a paintable faceplate that can blend in with your decor. Or, if you prefer a thermostat and room sensor combo without a built-in microphone, the Honeywell Home T9 may be the one for you.
