The Nest Learning Thermostat is by far our favorite smart thermostat right now, and the ecobee4 isn’t far behind. There are plenty of other options on the market right now though, many of them available at a fraction of what Nest and ecobee charge. The Kono Smart Wi-Fi Thermostat is one example, and it has a simple but nifty feature that neither big-name thermostat has: Swappable covers that come in a variety of different colors. Five different faceplate colors are available here, and there’s a sixth cover that’s ready to be painted any color you like — for example, you might want to match the color of your wall or trim.
