How the AI works
AI-assisted scheduling (Alexa Hunches) can automatically adjust the temperature based on your actual routines and presence.
Alexa Hunches is a real behavioral-pattern automation, not just a fixed schedule. It includes presence detection, which uses Alexa's 'hunches' to automatically adjust the thermostat based on whether it thinks you're home or not. If Alexa doesn't get it just right, it will learn from the interaction and try to do better next time.
Reviewers consistently call this a standout budget buy. The $60 Amazon Smart Thermostat pulls off a feat very few smart home devices can accomplish: it offers all the functionality of even the priciest connected thermostats at the lowest price.
Ideal for budget-minded, first-time smart-home buyers already in the Alexa ecosystem. The Amazon Smart Thermostat is affordable, attractive and intuitive — for just $59, it's the ultimate bargain. Non-Alexa households get less value since it only works with Alexa.
