Amazon has presented this Tuesday at its hardware event a smart thermostat compatible with Alexa.
It is a device designed to automatically regulate the temperature of the home that is Energy Star certified.
This new Amazon product has been designed and manufactured by Honeywell, a firm that has years of experience creating reliable thermostats.
Consequently, it inherits many characteristics that could make it stand out from other proposals such as Google's Nest, which fulfill the same function.
Amazon assures that its smart thermostat is part of its commitment to the environment and that it is designed for energy efficiency.
One of the benefits of the Amazon thermostat is that it is compatible with “most existing HVAC (HVAC systems).”
In this way, depending on certain preferences, it will adjust the temperature automatically. Although it will also be possible to regulate it manually.
Alexa, the best ally of Amazon's smart thermostat
In addition, thanks to its integration with Alexa, users will be able to use different voice commands. For example, saying, “Good evening, Alexa”, and device will lower the temperature
However, this not all. The Amazon Smart Thermostat can also be configured with routines.
For example, a night routine can turn off the heating at a certain time of the night and then activate it in the morning.
Clearly, like the other proposals on the market, it will allow you to closely monitor its behavior directly from your smartphone.
It costs $ 59.99 . Pricing in euros and availability outside the United States have yet to be disclosed.
The price is relatively low compared to the $ 130 for the Nest or the $ 250 for the Ecobee.
Amazon claims that since it is an energy efficient product, the savings generated by it will make the price of the device almost negligible.
However, the company has not yet specified what percentage of the energy bill its new smart thermostat will save.
This Tuesday Amazon has also presented the Echo Show 15, the eero 6 Pro, a mesh router with Wi-Fi 6 and integrated Zigbee.
