Ecobee’s Smart Thermostat Essential is packed with features but still affordable

Ecobee just announced its latest smart thermostat at CES 2025. This one is relatively affordable and full-featured.

Ecobee says the Smart Thermostat Essential is packed with software that will automatically learn how long it takes to heat and cool the home, which will then inform the device of how much energy to use to reach a desired temperature. The savings can be increased by adding a few of the company’s optional SmartSensors, which cost around $55 per pair. These sensors will teach the thermostat which rooms are used the most, so they’ll get increased temperature regulation.
