Amazon Smart Thermostat is ENERGY STAR certified. Easily switch your traditional thermostat and help reduce energy usage. For on-the-go comfort, let Alexa set the temperature, or set it yourself from anywhere with the Alexa app. Amazon Smart Thermostat is compatible with most 24V HVAC systems (like conventional force air, heat pump, radiant boilers, etc). It does not work with 110-240V HVAC systems (like electric baseboard heat). Smart Thermostats require a C-wire (most homes have one) or a C-wire adapter kit (sold separately). Guided installation instructions are included in the Alexa app, and will walk you through checking for a C-wire or options for powering your thermostat.

- A: AnswerHello BOBO! This thermostat is a white display and utilizes Alexa for many of the similar features you are asking about using what are called Hunches. Here's how Hunches work: When your phone leaves your home area and nobody interacts with Alexa for a while, Alexa might have a hunch nobody’s home. If no one interacts with Alexa for a while at night, she might have a hunch everyone is asleep. When someone interacts with Alexa or uses smart devices, she can tell that someone is home. Alexa learns from your daily interactions and improves over time. You can also help Alexa know when you go to bed or leave home by saying, “Alexa, goodnight.” or “Alexa, I’m leaving.” The voice features do require an Alexa supported device such as an Echo (sold separately) or through the Alexa app on your smartphone. I hope this answers your questions and that you have a fantastic day!

Q: QuestionDoes this have an "Auto" setting for the fan or is it just on or off?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe thermostat has 4 settings: 1) Off - where neither fan, cooling compressor or heater will turn on 2) Automatic - fan will turn on when either compressor (cooling) or heater are running based on temperature set on thermostat 3) On - fan will run continuously 4) Circulate - fan will turn on turn on when either compressor (cooling) or heater are running based on temperature set on thermostat and it will also run every once in a while, to keep air air circulation going with no cooling or heater.Answered by JRMiami
- A: AnswerOur Goodman Gas Furnace is 7+ years old, and we are able to set the fan to Auto, Circulate, or On using the Alexa app. All three options are available on the app under Fan.

- A: AnswerHi FinnNC! Yes, you can use multiple thermostats in a single household. Each device is controlled individually and runs on a separate schedule. However, we are aware that for some customers, the Alexa app will incorrectly display the same schedule for multiple devices. For example, if a change is made in the schedule for one thermostat, the second thermostat shows the same schedule change in the Alexa app. Please note that this is just a temporary app display error and your devices will still follow the designated individual schedule. This will be addressed in next Alexa app update. For a temporary workaround, force close the Alexa app and go to the thermostat of your choice to see the correct schedule. To check another thermostat, force close the Alexa app and view the other thermostat. Hope this helps, have a wonderful day!

Q: QuestionDoes it have the option for emergency use?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi HollyG! Unfortunately the Amazon Smart Thermostat does not currently support running Emergency heat (i.e. electric strips without engaging heat pump). Hope this helps, have a great rest of your day!Answered by Amazon Devices Customer Support
Q: QuestionCan this be locked with a PIN so others can’t adjust the temperature too high or too low?(2 answers)
A: AnswerNo, you are not able to specifically lock your thermostat. However, you ARE able to set a maximum and minimum allowed temperature, just go to settings in the alexa app.Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionCan you set it to specific temps at specific times?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes. There are 4 times you can program and change. Or you can do it twice a day. Whichever you need. I have mine change temps when we get up in the morning at 6 am, at 8 am when we are gone for work (it drops down) and the back up when we get home and down when we go to bed. Works perfect.Answered by NewUser
Q: QuestionIs this controllable from the ring app?(2 answers)
A: AnswerHi there! While you cannot control the Amazon Smart Thermostat through the Ring app, you CAN control it through the free Alexa app on your phone. Not only can you control it directly, but you can use Routines to set up automatic detection for things like if the house gets above a certain temperature. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!Answered by Amazon Devices Customer Support

Amazon Smart Thermostat
Amazing smart thermostat. Works excellent with Alexa. The installation was very well explained that I did it myself in under 30 min and everything works great. I’m not one for cutting power and with this type of stuff especially being a woman and not knowing much about this type of stuff but I did it. Was quite proud of myself to say the least especially when it worked after I got it all hooked up and connected lol. It could be just my family and I but we believe a better thermostat makes a difference in your AC. Ours actually cycles off & on now and makes it to what they consider ECO mode in which it never did before. I love the fact that we can check it away from home going out of town etc if we forgot to make any adjustments to it we can change it right from our phones in the Alexa App. 5 Star Review here and highly recommend. This picture contains the C wire adapter but we actually didn’t need it for installation. It goes based off your unit etc so double check before purchasing one just because you have googled it or someone has told you that u do need one.

A thermostat that gets the job done...
The Amazon smart thermostat is a very basic smart thermostat. It is fairly easy to install and once installed, operates without any complications. I do recommend having an "Alexa" unit available, but not necessary, it just makes remote operations easier. Also, please note that it will take a few days before the thermostat is able to truly feel the desired temperatures. Until then, expect to make subtle adjustment changes for approximately the first 48 hours or so. The only real disappointment(s) is that I wish there was more programmable capacity and maybe it should show the current room temperature with the preset desired temperature. All in all a great basic, economical, "no frills" smart thermostat.

Very easy to install...highly recommended
This thermostat is incredibly easy to install, and with the power company rebate, the cost was free. If I subtract the time it took me to get my tools and a ladder from the garage to access the furnace in the attic, install time was 4 minutes. My previous thermostat had three wires connected: W, R, G, so all I had to do was remove the old thermostat, install the new one and connect the previously unused blue wire to the "C" terminal on the thermostat and also inside the furnace. It couldn't have been simpler. I try to keep the use of the furnace as minimal as possible, so I set a daily schedule for 52° at 6AM, 9AM, 5PM, and 10PM. When I want to turn the furnace on, I'll ask Alexa to turn it on. It will heat to my "home" temperature of 68° and then will set it back to 52° (away) for the next cycle. Works great, so that if I leave home after getting up and forget to turn it off, it will turn it back down to 52° at 9AM.
