A thermostat that gets the job done...
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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.

Extremely happy.
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I have had two Eccobee thermostats. They are a very good product. I thought I would try this Amazon thermostat because if the exceedingly good price. At we having it for about a month, I am and very happy. It works well with Alexa and does everything I want in a smart thermostat. The install was easy as was the programing, and it connected with Alexa immediately. I highly recommend this thermostat.

Love this for our home!
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Great product! We were looking at the nest thermostat and a friend recommended this one. We love the sleek design, the reasonable price, it’s easy to use and it connects to your Alexa app. Being able to set schedules and use the app on our phone is a game changer.

Awesome device for free.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Exactly what I was looking, it saves on my energy bill and got rebate from PSEG. Basically it's free. Double check if you have the C wire available at your terminals if not you will need to order extra power supply.

Very easy to install...highly recommended
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.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.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionI AM INTERESTED IN THE THERMOSTAT. HOWEVER YOU HAVE LIMITED INFO. DOES IT HAVE GEO FENCING? DOES IT LEARN LIKE NEST? IS THE SCREEN WHIT? OR CAN IT CHANGE COLORS? I AM TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH ONE TO PURCHASE +
Asked by BOBO.
- A:Answer 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!

Q: QuestionI have two thermostats in my house, one on main floor, one upstairs. Can I name each one differently, will they work independently?
Asked by FinnNC.
- A:Answer Hi 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 this thermostat has fan only settings like the "Airwave" on Google Nest or the "Circulate Fan" option on Emerson Sensi or Honeywell Lyric T5 models?
Asked by FanSettings.
- A:Answer Our 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.

Q: QuestionCan you set it to specific temps at specific times?
Asked by Nadia.
- A:Answer Hello Nadia, the Amazon Smart Thermostat can be programmed to go on and off at certain times as well as the temperature. You can also create temperature zone, and the thermostat learns from you for when you are home and away. I hope this helps. Have a great day!

Q: QuestionCan you turn on/off your hvac from your app ?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hello There, Thanks for your question! Yes, you can link the Amazon Smart Thermostat to an Alexa-enabled device at home, and you can control your HVAC system with your voice. Even if you're not at home, you can use the Alexa app to manually adjust the temperature or set a schedule by utilizing routines. Routines can control your Amazon Smart Thermostat for you, including temperature setting, brightness, and mode. To do this you can open your Alexa App and complete the following steps: Open the Alexa app . Open More and select Routines. Select Plus . Select When this happens, and follow the steps in the app to choose what starts your routine. Select Add action, and on the Add New page, select Smart Home, then All Devices, then select your Smart Thermostat. Select the thermostat action you want, such as setting temperature or turning on fan mode, then select Next. Finish setting up the routine and then select Save. Hope that helps!

Q: QuestionDoes this have an "Auto" setting for the fan or is it just on or off?
Asked by LisaH.
- A:Answer The 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.

Q: QuestionDoes it tell you how long does the AC runs at a time?
Asked by Joe.
- A:Answer No, this thermostat does not have the reporting capabilities of a Eccobee. It will allow you to set on and off times, and will automatically adjust heat or cold when it detects you have left the house, or at night when you go to bed. It works well with Alexa. It is also a lot less cost than any other thermostat I know of.
