Temperature control systems have been around for over a hundred years. In fact, one of the first devices ever created to control temperatures was patented by Warren Johnson in 1883; the electric tele-thermoscope.
Since its humble beginnings, temperature control technology has developed significantly. The most recent phenomenon combines smart technology with heating and cooling, as well as compatibility with other smart home products. The smart thermostat is making headway, and no other brand has our customers talking than the line of smart thermostats from Ecobee.
What is a Smart Thermostat?
Smart thermostats are temperature control devices that connect via bluetooth and pairing to your smartphone and tablet. Through Wi-Fi connectivity and an app on your phone or tablet, they provide you with more control over the temperatures in your home from anywhere wirelessly.
Smart thermostats are a great way to save money on energy bills. You can control and monitor the heating and cooling of your home from anywhere using your phone or tablet. A smart thermostat also learns your temperature preference, establishes a schedule to adjust the temperature of your home automatically, and provides you with data to assist you with saving money on your energy bills

Ecobee: a Superior Line of Smart Thermostats for Home
In terms of the best smart thermostats on the market, Ecobee reigns supreme for features, compatibility, and tracking energy efficiency.
There are three different models of Ecobee smart thermostats. The ecobee3 lite is their base model, while their Enhanced and Premium models provide more features.
Ecobee’s thermostats allow you to control the climate in your home from your phone or tablet. They also monitor the humidity within your home and the air quality.

The thermostat will also send you a notification when it’s time to change the air filters in your HVAC system.
Ecobee’s Commitment to Saving Energy
Ecobee’s three thermostat models also come with an eco+ feature, which enables the thermostat to learn your schedule. This will allow the thermostat to lower the temperature automatically while you’re not home, maximizing energy savings without sacrificing the comfort you want.
Also, all Ecobee smart thermostats are Energy Star Certified, guaranteeing that this thermostat will save energy. Their smart thermostats can save customers up to 26% on energy bills, and their base model, the ecobee3 lite, can pay for itself in just one year.

Ecobee: Connecting with the Leading Smart Technology
All three thermostats integrate with different smart home systems, such as Apple HomeKit +, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. The flexible compatibility of Ecobee’s smart thermostats with different smart home systems gives them a competitive edge that is hard to find with other brands.
The Smart Thermostat Enhanced and Smart Thermostat Premium models provide more security features, such as a built in radar occupancy sensor. This allows the smart thermostat to double as a smart home security system, so you can be aware of movement within the house while you are away.
The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium comes with voice assistant capabilities, including the option to choose between Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa. A Siri or Alexa compatible thermostat illustrates how committed Ecobee is to staying on top of integration and compatibility, while their competitors still trail behind.
Track Your Energy Savings with Ecobee
One of the best ways to go green in your home is to monitor and track how much energy you are using. With Ecobee’s smart reporting feature, you will receive detailed reports assessing your energy usage, and provide you with recommendations to save energy and money.
