Ecobee smart light switch with built-in Alexa speaker and mics is on sale for $29.99 — Lowest price ever at 63% off

Posted by Elias Saba on — 4 Comments

The Ecobee Switch+ is on sale for $29.99. At $50 off its regular price of $79.99, this is the lowest price that it has ever been. This isn’t an ordinary smart light switch. While it certainly can be controlled by an app or your voice, it goes much further by including a speaker and microphones built into the light switch itself, which makes it act like a little Echo Dot on your wall, with a blue light bar and all. The Ecobee Switch+ was announced in 2017 and went on sale in 2018 for $99.99. It didn’t gain much popularity at that price, which is probably why it dropped to $79.99 in 2019. That’s still a pretty steep price to pay, but at $29.99 it’s a pretty great bargain. Read more ›

Ecobee smart home security camera leaks — Likely has Alexa built-in

Posted by Elias Saba on — 2 Comments

It looks like smart thermostat maker Ecobee will be releasing a home security camera, thanks to a leaked image discovered by Zatz Not Funny. The camera appears to have four LED lights at the top, which Dave Zatz says can also turn blue. That’s pretty compelling evidence that not only will the camera be Alexa compatible, but it will also have Alexa built-in, just like Ecobee’s smart thermostat and smart light switch. Going by Ecobee’s device lineup, there’s a decent chance the security camera will also serve as a presence sensor that notifies an Ecobee thermostat when you’ve left the room/house, resulting in more efficient automatic HVAC scheduling. A launch date or pricing is unknown.

Ecobee Room Sensor 2-Pack is on sale for $39.50 — That’s 50% Off [Expired]

Posted by Elias Saba on — 2 Comments

Get this Ecobee Sensor Deal

Those of you who got in on the Ecobee Smart Thermostat deal that I posted about earlier, or if you already own an Ecobee Thermostat, you might be interested in this deal on additional remote sensors. Best Buy currently has the Ecobee Remote Sensor 2-Pack on sale for $39.50. That is half off of the regular price of $79 for this bundle. These sensors allow you to monitor the temperature in rooms where the Ecobee thermostat is not located so that you can have the thermostat tailer the temperature for a specific room. The Ecobee 4, which is on sale now for $199, already comes with one room sensor, but the Ecobee 3, which is on sale for $139, does not come with any, even though it is compatible with the same sensors.

Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat w/ built-in Alexa is on sale for $199.00 — Lowest Price Ever

Posted by Elias Saba on — 1 Comment

Get this Ecobee4 Deal

The Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat is on sale for $199.00 for Black Friday. This matches the lowest price it has ever been. This is easily the most Alexa-friendly smart thermostat on the market. That’s not only because its hands-free capabilities essentially make it like having an Echo Dot on your wall, but because Amazon works closely with Ecobee, so they are always among the first 3rd-party manufacturers to gain new Alexa capabilities that get released. A nice perk of Ecobee thermostats is that they come with a remote room sensor that lets you dial in a temperature for a specific part of your house. With other smart thermostats, like Nest, you have to pay extra for room sensors. If you’re already up to your neck in Alexa devices in your home, you can save a bit of money and get the Ecobee3 Smart Thermostat on sale for $139.00, which has many of the same capabilities, minus the built-in Alexa mics and speaker. That price for the Ecobee3 is also the lowest it has ever been.

Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat w/ built-in Alexa is on sale for $199.99 — Lowest Price Ever

Posted by Elias Saba on

The Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat has just gone on sale for $199.99 on Amazon. This matches the lowest price this thermostat has ever been, which has only occurred twice before today. The Ecobee4 takes Alexa compatibility further than any other smart thermostat. Not only can you control it through Alexa-enabled devices, like Echos and Fire TVs, but the thermostat itself is an Alexa device that you can talk to and give any Alexa command. Think of it as having an extra Echo Dot mounted on your wall. The Ecobee4 comes with a separate remote sensor so that it monitors the temperature of more than one spot of your home and you can add additional sensors if necessary to make it even more efficient.

ecobee4 Smart Thermostat w/ built-in Alexa on sale for $199 — New lowest price ever

Posted by Elias Saba on — 3 Comments

The ecobee4 Smart Thermostat has just gone on sale for $199 on Amazon. This is the first time this thermostat has ever been priced this low. The ecobee4 takes Alexa compatibility further than any other smart thermostat. Not only can you control it through Alexa on Echo and Fire TV devices, but the thermostat itself is an Alexa device that you can talk to and give any Alexa command. It’s like having an Echo Dot mounted to your wall. The ecobee4 also just became the first third-party Alexa device to gain Echo Spatial Perception (ESP), which means it will integrate seamlessly with any other Echo devices you have so that two devices don’t respond simultaneously. The ecobee4 also comes with a separate remote sensor so that it monitors the temperature of more than one spot of your home and you can add additional sensors if necessary to make it even smarter.

Ecobee4 thermostat with built-in Alexa now supports Echo Spatial Perception

Posted by Elias Saba on — 1 Comment

The ecobee4 Smart Thermostat is the first and only thermostat to provide full-fledged Alexa capabilities directly from the device itself, thanks to its array of far-field microphones, built-in speaker, and LED light bar. The only issue is that, since it’s not an Amazon product, it did not have Echo Spatial Perception (ESP), which is what allows Amazon’s line of Echo smart speakers to know which device is closest to the speaker so that only one responds. A new software update for the ecobee4 has now addressed this issue by making it, to my knowledge, the first non-Amazon product to support ESP. Read more ›
