ecobee’s New $249 Smart Thermostat Can Make Phone Calls

ecobee has a new smart thermostat this month, one featuring voice controls and priced at $249.

It’s basically the same thermostat experience you’ll get with other ecobee models, but with the Alexa-powered voice controls, you can actually make calls from your wall, stream music to your smart speakers, plus a whole lot more.

Call your friends and family anywhere in North America free of charge from your SmartThermostat. That isn’t a misprint. Give this surprising, and useful feature a try. Start by saying, “Alexa, call Aunt Jane.”

To help show off the beauty of this thermostat, ecobee published the below promo video. To say it is over the top is an understatement and it really doesn’t show any of the features for the thermostat. Oh well.
