  • There’s no question that the Nest Learning Thermostat is the hottest smart thermostat craze on the market, and right now it’s back down to its lowest price of the year at Amazon.
  • Any smart thermostat at any price is a good idea because it pays for itself in savings on your energy bill, but the Nest model at $199 is definitely a no-brainer.
  • In fact, the only reason to pass up this deal might be a different Amazon sale going on at the moment that slashes nearly $40 off the craziest and most futuristic smart thermostat you’ve ever seen.

There’s really no excuse at this point for not having a smart thermostat in your home. Thankfully, there are two sales right now on Amazon that will help you remedy the situation immediately if you’re behind the times for some reason.

The big one is the Nest Learning Thermostat deal, which drops this wildly popular model to its lowest price of the year so far. It features a gorgeous design along with all the smart features you can think of as well as some features that are so smart, you probably never even considered them. It also supports voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control the heating and air conditioning in your home without having to lift a finger.

The best thing about the Nest thermostat is the fact that it pays for itself in savings on your energy bills. Even so, it’ll pay for itself a lot sooner if you buy one now on Amazon for $199 instead of $250.

If you’ve seen the Nest Learning Thermostat and you’re somehow unimpressed, don’t worry because we have another terrific option for you that’s nothing if not impressive. It’s called the GLAS Smart Thermostat by Johnson Controls, and it looks like something straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie. The thermostat’s base attaches to your wall and the control portion is made up entirely of a transparent OLED touchscreen display. There’s nothing else on the market like it, and it’s nearly $40 off right now so you’ll only pay around $12 more than you would for the Nest model.
