Ecobee vs Nest – Battle of the Internet of Things

The internet of things … or you can call it “Smart Homes” is S-l-o-w-l-y becoming a reality … well sort of. CNET takes a look at the Ecobee 3 and the Nest … but $250 for a thermostat? Really?

“The Ecobee3 and the Nest Learning Thermostat both cost $250 (£155, AU$285), both have iOS and Android apps, and both apps let you change the temperature remotely, set schedules, choose temperature preferences, and the like. As far as the basics are concerned, the contest is a tie.

As far as advanced smarts, Nest and Ecobee take different paths. The Nest Learning Thermostat lives up to its name by gradually learning your schedule and habits, and then anticipating them and adjusting itself for you over time.”

It may have started slowly, but its picking up speed very quickly! Right now there are a ton of startups battling it out in all areas of the home automation sector, but the smart thermostat niche seems to have two major players that have carved out their niche. The Ecobee3 and Nest are clearly the top two and are both solid products that come through on their promises.
