Smart home devices can make life easier and more convenient (and even save you some money on utility bills). If you're new to the smart home world, smart thermostats are a great place to start because they're easy to install and quite affordable. The Amazon Smart Thermostat is all of those things, and it can connect to the Alexa app for voice control.
Amazon Smart ThermostatWoot is selling refurbished Amazon smart thermostats for $29.99 (regularly $79.99) (you can apply for a $5.00 coupon at checkout through midnight Friday using the code "SMARTFIVE"). Promotion ends April 9 at 1am ET or until the thermostat runs out. Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous U.S. states If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, shipping is $6. Keep in mind that the thermostat is refurbished, so there may be signs of wear and tear, but it has been serviced and is in working order.
Installation is simple and you can do it yourself. All you need to do is do some basic rewiring of your current thermostat. If you're not sure what this means, you can follow the video below. The Alexa app also guides you through the installation process.
PCMag rated this thermostat an "Excellent" device because of its price, support for the Alexa ecosystem, and the ability to track and manage your HVAC system, potentially saving you some money on your utility bills. Don't expect all the fancy features you get from other, more premium smart thermostats, like motion detection, remote control, and support for other smart home systems. But at $24.99 it's well worth it.
