How could a smart home product help you?

“I am looking for a smart thermostat device to help me keep on top of heating bills and to keep my home at an ideal temperature.”

Daniel, EE Store Customer

The cost of living is rising. Energy bills are increasing. So, saving money is essential, no matter what form that takes. Smart thermostats give you complete control over your heating at home. Much like some thermostats, you can set schedules and timers for the heating to turn on and off automatically, so you don’t need to worry whether you’ve left the heating on while you’re at work. Set it to turn off when you leave the house and come back on when you’re home, nothing better than coming into a toasty home.

This is all great but, what makes it ‘smart’? With this thermostat, you can control your heating using a smartphone, tablet, or PC, all you need is a Wi-Fi connection. Not only can you control the temperature from anywhere with your smart device, but you can also integrate smart thermostats with smart speakers like Google Home and Amazon Echo. Just say, “Hey Google – turn the temperature up.” Or “Alexa, turn the heating on”. It’s that simple. By only heating your house when you need to, you can reduce energy wasted in your home.

Help understand your energy bills even more by receiving reports on the usage at home, so you can see where you can cut down, and where you’re using less. With smart thermostats, you can find the perfect temperature and keep it that way every time you put the heating on.
