Amazon Smart Thermostat Available for $57.99 During Early Prime Day Sale

The Amazon Smart Thermostat is currently on sale for $57.99 at Amazon, offered as part of the retailer's early Prime Day promotional event. This pricing is noted as the lowest since Black Friday. The device typically sells for $79.99, a price point also seen at Best Buy and B&H Photo.

The smart thermostat is designed to help users manage electricity costs, particularly concerning cooling. It features the ability to learn and adapt to user routines, aiming to reduce the frequency of manual temperature adjustments. The device is compatible with most 24-volt HVAC systems and can adjust its settings based on whether occupants are asleep or at home.

Through its dedicated application, the thermostat allows users to create schedules and monitor their energy usage. This feature provides insight into air conditioning consumption, enabling adjustments before utility bills arrive. The Amazon Smart Thermostat also integrates with the Amazon ecosystem, supporting Alexa for voice-activated controls and mobile app adjustments.

Users can create Alexa Routines to enable automated actions, such as coordinating with other compatible smart home devices. For example, the thermostat can adjust home temperatures based on indoor air quality conditions detected by devices like an Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor. The thermostat does not include native temperature sensors, according to The Verge.
