Cool Gadgets for the Home: A Smart Thermostat

Smart homes are still in their learning phase, and currently the tech world is rushing to provide home owners with devices that are internet connected. For the tech world, homes have the greatest potential for technology to have a long lasting effect and there are certainly no shortage of startups and companies trying to innovate new ideas for the home technology space. 

However, as of right now there are only a handful of devices that actually work well in the home, and there are even fewer devices that provide home owners with more convenience, rather than frustration. It's hard for many to justify these smart devices as "essential" household items, but if you're an individual whom has a forward thinking approach to technology and some cash, there are many cool home tech devices that will leave your technology appetite satiated.

Below is one of the devices that we think is pretty cool:

 1. The ecobee3 Smart WiFi Thermostat:

The ecobee3 Smart Wifi Thermostat is a smart thermostat that intuitively understands when to turn on your heating cooling equipment based on your home's unique energy profile, the weather outside, and thousands of other data points that ensure that you're comfortable at all times. 

The ecobee3 Smart WiFi Thermostat knows you have a life. It is able to sense whether anyone is home and which rooms are occupied, which helps to deliver comfort when you're at the house and saves money when you're not.

The ecobee3 also helps in managing rising energy bills where it has been reported to save homeowners an average of 23% annually, paying for itself in energy savings over time. 

Overall we think that this is a nifty product, and we're excited to see what the future has in store for other smart home devices.
