With built-in Alexa Voice Service, ecobee4 can listen to your voice commands and respond. Have it set a timer, read you the news, adjust the temperature, and more. It also comes with a room sensor that helps manage hot and cold spots in your home, delivering comfort in the rooms that matter. And because they can detect occupancy, they can automatically enable the right mode on your ecobee4 for energy savings when it senses no one is home.

Another outstanding product from ecobee!
on May 23, 2017
Posted by: TheCharneco
I am very, very happy with my ecobee4! It functions just like the ecobee3 does, but with some very nice and welcomed extras.
• Amazon Alexa: She works! The far-field voice recognition works great. There are the occasional instances where she might not hear you, but I have the same issues with my Dot. I use Alexa pretty frequently on my ecobee4 while I fold laundry in the dining room (which is where the thermostat is) to play music or listen to my flash briefing. I also use my ecobee4 to control some of my smart home accessories like my smart plugs.
• The speaker: The speaker actually sounds pretty decent and is loud enough to fill the room with some good quality sound...especially considering that this is coming from a thermostat.

Pros: It works great, is fun to use, and saves on energy costs! I love the fact that there's a speaker in this and I use it while at home and entertaining. Sensors, sensors, sensors! I have sensors all over my house and use them to help get the most accurate average temperature reading of my house. I love the fact that they can detect if a room is unoccupied and therefor will focus on making sure the rooms that are occupied are at the desired temperature. The sensors can also be used as a motion detector with HomeKit and can be automated to interact with other smart devices around the home. I have the one in my bedroom programmed to turn on the lights after sunset when motion is detected in the room.
Cons: As of right now, there is no Alexa ESP feature, so if you have multiple Alexa devices within range of each other, they'll all go off at the same time. However, I'm sure that'll be addressed and fixed at some point in the near future.
Overall it's a fantastic product. If you want to upgrade your thermostat, I highly recommend this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can't wait to add another one to my home!

I've had one of these installed for almost 2 weeks now and LOVE it!!! I highly recommend the ecobee3 over the other smart thermostats out there. The ability to add sensors around the house to get a more accurate reading and temperature controls is a huge plus! Also, the controls are extremely easy to use and setup. Connecting it to Apple HomeKit and my AppleTV was also very quick and easy. It works great with Siri. I also love the weather app featured on the thermostat itself gets used every morning as I walk past it. I wanted a Nest for a long time, but then found this and don't regret going with the ecobee3 over the competition one bit. Like I said before, I highly recommend this!

ecobee Update
May 18, 2017
I've had this product for over 8 months and still love everything about it. I've had some decent energy savings, it's extremely easy to use, and the extra sensors add an additional level of comfort. Now, with Apple HomeKit, you can also use the sensors as a home security device and get alerts when a motion has been detected in a room that has a sensor as well as use the sensor to trigger lights to turn on in a dark room. Talk about a nice bonus! After 8 months of use I'd still 100% recommend the ecobee to anyone looking to upgrade to a smart thermostat. I now have two in my home (ecobee3 and ecobee4) and I'm very, very happy with my setup.
