What's The Best Smart Thermostat?


We’ve talked about some of the benefits of smart thermostats, and how they can save you money, learn your habits, and keep you comfortable. This week, we want to know which models you think are the best.

Of course, not every smart thermostat needs to be a fancy, internet-connected, Wi-Fi enabled version...although that certainly helps if it’s available. Some are more humble, learning your temperature preferences over time, automatically adjusting to suit your comfort and the weather. Others bring all the bells and whistles to the party. Whichever ones you like, let’s hear em in the discussion below!
