Unlike other smart home products, smart thermostats provide an everyday solution to heating and cooling issues all homeowners face. Mansion Global’s John Elliot says each thermostat’s core features are largely similar, but their design and user experiences differ. Below are a few current product options that will create an automated environment within homes.

3rd Gen Nest Learning Thermostat
Brought to you by the brains at Google, the 3rd Gen Nest Learning Thermostat is sharp, smart and circular. A ringed screen that easily affixes over your previous thermostat, Nest is a new roommate with a singular mission—to discover your temperature preferences.

Ecobee4
The elegant Ecobee4 is a smart thermostat and much more. The sleek, square-esque screen— like the Nest—takes the position of your current thermostat, but, unlike the Nest, the Ecobee4 comes with an accompanying smart sensor, giving you more exacting control over your home’s temperature—and a leg up on learning your home’s unique heating profile—right out of the box. The Ecobee4 will also track the local weather throughout the day, developing a plan to manage your home’s temperature in accordance with your region’s climate.

Honeywell Round Smart Thermostat
Honeywell’s answer to intelligent temperature control, the Round Smart Thermostat apes elements of the clever tech that preceded it. Like the Nest, the Round Smart is a minimally designed, Wi-Fi-enabled, circular thermostat that can be controlled from anywhere in the world via an accompanying app. Like the Ecobee4, the Round Smart is compatible with a variety of automated assistants and 3rd party software (Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Homekit, Samsung SmartThings) allowing users to control and schedule temperature shifts by using their voice, or in conjunction with other smart devices.
