Ecobee's newest thermostat sports a capacitive touchscreen display, Wi-Fi smarts, and a other interesting features. Is it a worthy Nest competitor? Click through to see.
It also comes packaged with a wireless room sensor. Like the thermostat itself, this sensor will read the climate in the room and use built-in motion sensors to detect whether you're around or not.
These sensors help the system tailor your home's heating and cooling to your specific needs, by optimizing heating and cooling for the room you're actually in, not the hallway where the thermostat sits.
You can order the Ecobee3 directly from the manufacturer, or through a licensed HVAC technician. The thermostat comes with a three-year warranty, and retails for $250 -- the same price as the Nest.
