The Alexa-enabled Ecobee 4 thermostat was just released and it’s already on sale on Amazon

The Ecobee3 has long been our favorite smart thermostat for several reasons. The Alexa integration is obviously key, and we love the fact that it works with a remote sensor so it can adjust your heating and cooling based on the temperature in an area of your house that gets a lot of traffic, instead of whichever random hallway that happens to house your thermostat. The 3 is still a terrific thermostat, and it’s on sale right now on Amazon at its lowest price ever, but there’s a new sheriff in town: The Ecobee4. It’s better in every way — it can even replace your Amazon Echo as an Alexa speaker — and it’s discounted right now on Amazon even though it was just released!

Here’s what you need to know from the product page:

  • Comes with built-in Alexa Voice Service, so you can ask your ecobee to set a timer, read you the news, adjust the temperature, and more. With Far-field voice technology your ecobee4 can hear you from across the room.

  • Room sensors help manage hot and cold spots in your home, delivering comfort to the rooms that matter most.

  • Easily adjust temperature and comfort settings from anywhere using your Android and iOS devices. Also works with Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, IFTTT and more

  • Save an average 23% on heating and cooling costs each year. Learn more at ecobee.com/savings.

  • Fast, easy installation you can do yourself. Use our handy step-by-step guide right on your phone.
