Rather than needing to adjust the temperature when you wake up, leave, get home, and go to bed, hand over the task to the Amazon Smart Thermostat. Powered by Alexa, the thermostat can get to know your temperature preferences. But you're always in control and can manually override Alexa's chosen temp should you prefer. From the Alexa app, you can control the temperature even when you're not home. This feature means you can turn up the heat before you arrive home, or turn it down if you forgot to before leaving for vacation.

The Amazon Smart Thermostat comes with an Energy Star certification, and the EPA estimates certified thermostats save an average of $50 on power bills per year, which means it'll only take a bit over a year in energy bill savings to make up the cost of the thermostat.
