Alexa enabled smart thermostat
The Ecobee4 thermostat works much like the Nest thermostat but with one major difference: It has a built-in Amazon Alexa voice command, so even if you don’t have a separate Alexa device, you can tell the Ecobee to adjust temperatures or even give you the news or order groceries. Here are more things you didn’t know your Amazon Alexa could do.
Smart devices for your pets
What’s Fido doing all day while you’re away? You’ll know for sure with the Furbo Dog Camera. Live streaming video lets you watch your pet’s every move on your phone and receive alerts when there’s barking. The Furbo will even dispense treats and allow you to say “good dog!” through a two-way audio speaker. Both our editors and our pups consider the Furbo one of this year’s best smart home devices.
