Whether or not you have a smart home system that is controlled by a smart speaker or display, you can benefit from individual smart home devices, particularly ones such as the smart thermostat.

Like a digital thermostat or a programmable thermostat, a smart thermostat can be programmed while you are at home. However, what makes a smart thermostat different than a digital thermostat is how many features it has. Smart thermostats can learn to recognize and automate your preferred settings. They can also connect to apps to give you remote control of temperature settings, and many Wi-Fi thermostats offer energy-efficient automatic settings that keep you comfortable while decreasing power use.

Choosing the best smart thermostat comes down to deciding what features you want and whether your new thermostat should be compatible with any wider smart home system, like Amazon Alexa or Google Nest. Also, for the best energy efficiency, consider choosing an ENERGY STAR-certified thermostat.

When you bring home your new smart thermostat, you will want to connect it not only with your heating and cooling systems, but also with your home Wi-Fi network. This way, you can adjust the temperature in your home remotely, programming both specific and routine settings all through your phone, tablet or computer.

An energy-efficient smart thermostat will help you save on utility bills and do your part in terms of responsible living. Given the many benefits over time, you may even want to expand your smart home tech to include more energy-efficient lights, plugs and other smart home devices.
