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).

A: Hello 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!

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.

Installed quickly by using the in Alexa instructions only. I did run a new C wire but they do sell adapters if you can’t run a new wire. Works well would recommend

Another thumbs up here. Setup was simple. I had a 5 conductor thermostat wire in the wall with the blue taped off because my "dumb" thermostat operated on 2 AA bateries. I just had to go into the attic and terminate the spare blue wire on the Common lug of the control board and the wiring of this thermostat was a breeze. Also kudos to the Amazon Thermostat brand for including an oversized decorative plate to cover the entire massive hole behind the old larger "dumb" thermostat. No sheetrock repair needed. Setup through the Alexa app was very intuitive (easy peasy). I already had 9 echo dots scattered throughout my house, so once it was linked to my wifi, I had full voice control of the thermostat from everywhere immediately. Awesome product.
