Ecobee can’t stay discreet to itself, perceiving how its forthcoming indoor camcorder, captivating contact sensor and new premium indoor regulator have been point by point ahead of schedule by Dave Zatz of ZatzNotFunny over the past couple months. However at this point, equipment retailer Lowe’s has clearly asked Zatz to hold its brew — by distributing a total item page for the new glass-shrouded Ecobee SmartThermostat with Voice Control onto the web.
The page, spotted by one of Zatz’ tipsters, leaves next to no to the creative ability, itemizing basically every new element to anticipate. Notwithstanding the recently uncovered glass-shrouded touchscreen (rather than plastic) and packaged “SmartSensor” with attractive base, the new unit currently underpins 5GHz Wi-Fi systems, Bluetooth, a few propelled Amazon Alexa calling highlights to compliment its inherent voice partner, and the capacity to go about as a speaker for your Spotify music. (We’ll need to check whether it’s any superior to the Ecobee4 as a music speaker, though.)nterestingly, it would appear that Ecobee might dump its numbering plan, as this is just an “Ecobee SmartThermostat” as opposed to an Ecobee5 or Ecobee4+. Assuming this is the case, that is like Nest, which is as of now on the third era of its Nest Learning Thermostat. Also, if the valuing on the Lowe’s Canada site is correct, it’ll be evaluated comparatively to Nest as well: CAD$329. That is likely purposeful since Ecobee’s gadget has a progressively premium form, however you can discover both the current Ecobee4 and the third-gen Nest for a decent piece less in the US nowadays since they’re both been on special throughout recent years.
