Smart thermostats have become the face of smart home technology for most, but
depending on what your home is like, it’s possible to say the ecobee3 is superior.
Most of the smart thermostats carry the same benefits, including the ecobee3. They
can learn your preferences and schedules, and then adjust
the temperature accordingly. They’re better-looking and more enjoyable to use than
the basic pieces of plastic that occupy most households. Their very presence will
probably make you more conscious about saving energy. And once you’re able to
heat up or cool down your house from your phone, without having to get out of bed,
you won’t want to go back.
If you live in a larger household, the ecobee3 can be much more convenient
– provided you pick up a couple more remote sensors. Yes, it gets pretty expensive
at that point, but having those gives you effective control over the temperature in
different rooms around your house. In comparison, other thermostats’ measurements
are largely limited to the area in which they’re installed (安装).
If you live in a smaller place, that’s no big deal; the ecobee3 still has distinct
advantages. It is touch-enabled and more spacious, making it less annoying when
you want to enter a Wi-Fi password, see weather information, and so on.
Still, all the smart thermostats are pretty great. Which one is best just depends on
whether you need a whole-home solution or a more straightforward one. For now,
if it’s the former, go with the ecobee3.
