Smart home — no screen to squint at

Amazon Smart Thermostat

The verdict

Built on Honeywell's HVAC hardware, Energy Star certified, and it pays for itself in energy savings. C-wire required — check your wiring (or ask an installer) before buying.

Amazon Smart Thermostat — about $79.99 (often ~$60 on sale) · 4.0★ from ~24,900 reviews · honest blind-shopper read: there is no touchscreen — it's a plain white square, and ALL control runs through Alexa voice or the app. "Alexa, set the heat to 72" beats squinting at any display. Alexa Hunches auto-adjusts when the house is empty.

It needs Alexa to shine; without an Echo nearby you're stuck in the app. And the C-wire requirement kills it for some older homes. At $60–$80 it's the budget anti-funnel to the Nest and Ecobee picks.
