I bought my smart thermostat (Ecobee) for a couple reasons -<p>1. Economic - it easily paid for itself in one summer by not running the A&#x2F;C when no one is home. I have geofencing set up to do this automatically.<p>2. Comfort - my office&#x2F;bedroom temperature is all I really care about as it&#x27;s where I spend all my time. My thermostat was not wired to there, and temperatures fluctuated wildly in my office. Ecobee has remote sensors so that I can set the rooms I care about to the correct temperature.<p>Overall, it has certainly made my life a lot less complicated; I never have to touch the thermostat again to get comfortable in my office, and I save a lot of money too.
