Ecobee just announced a brand new model it calls the SmartThermostat, and it’s very… nice. It has glass covering the front now, the built-in Alexa speaker is a little bit louder, and it’s marginally faster than the previous-generation ecobee4. It’s nice and all, but none of those features are really must-have features. After all, you’re not streaming music to your thermostat! You can spend $249 on the new model if you absolutely must have all the latest and greatest versions of everything, but you should know that the ecobee4 Smart Thermostat with Built-In Alexa is now on sale for just $199. It’s pretty much the same thing in every area that’s important, and you’ll save $50!
