Smart home devices can make life easier and more convenient (and might even save you some money on your utility bill). A smart thermostat is a great place to begin if you’re new to the smart home world because they’re easy to install and fairly affordable. The Amazon Smart Thermostat is all those things, plus it can connect to the Alexa app to be voice controlled.
Woot is selling refurbished Amazon Smart Thermostats for $29.99 (originally $79.99), (and until midnight on Friday, you can apply a $5.00 coupon with code “SMARTFIVE” at checkout). The sale goes until April 9 at 1 a.m. ET or until the thermostats run out. Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous states in the U.S. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it’ll be $6 to ship. Keep in mind that the thermostat is refurbished, so it might come with signs of wear, but it was serviced and given the thumbs-up to work properly.
The installation is simple, and you can do it yourself. All you need to do is some basic rewiring on your current thermostat. If you’re not sure what that entails, you can follow along on the video below. The Alexa app also guides you through the process of installation.
PCMag rated this thermostat as an “excellent” device for its price, support for the Alexa ecosystem, and ability to track and manage your HVAC system, potentially saving you some money on your utility bill. Don’t expect all the fancy features that you can get from other, more premium smart thermostats, like motion detection, remote control, and support for other smart home systems. But for $24.99, it’s a good value.
