    ecobee4 Smart Thermostat with Built-In Alexa, Room Sensor Included

    • The Alexa integration never worked correctly either.
    • Alexa integration though is what blows me away with this thermostat
    • Alexa integration is useful
    • Alexa integration is buggy and does not work as expected
    • However, the Alexa integration is poor and not functioning.
    • Reason is the alexa integration is very limited to the basics
    • However the sound quality is tinny - nowhere as good as from a Dot, and it seems to start by itself some times
    • Good customer support as he had to call the company a couple of times during the installation process
    • Setting them do as much good as pushing the "close door" button in an elevator, and I'm convinced they are added to give the illusion of the feature actually working and using them
    • However, I must say the Alexa feature does not work quite as well as with my Echo Dot
    • This thermostat is as close to perfect as you can get
    • The replacement thermostats proved there was no wiring faults as they worked just fine when installed.
    • However, I must say the Alexa feature does not work quite as well as with my Echo Dot
    • When I need humidity in my house, my thermostat will turn on the furnace fan and the humidifier to add humidity without heat... as well as with heat, if needed
    • so it knows what’s going on outside your home as well as
    • Functionally its great as it’s basically exactly the same as the ecobee 3 but the Alexa portion has horribly implemented
    • Not as amazing as I'd hoped

    • but it works 100% of the time for me with Siri, but most of the time Alexa won’t/can’t acknowledge that I even have an ecobee device connected let alone control it
    • n’t have any connections issues with any device
    • n’t lean to one side
    • Please keep in mind that the product is great out of the package, and I actually like the features better than other smart t-stats I’ve seen
