Summary

  • $57.99 marks the Amazon Smart Thermostat’s early Prime Day price, its lowest level seen since Black Friday.
  • The sub-$100 device is pitched as a way to cut summer cooling costs by learning household routines and automatically adjusting settings when users are home, away or asleep.
  • Amazon says the thermostat works with most 24-volt HVAC systems, while its app lets users set schedules and track energy use before utility bills rise.
  • Alexa compatibility adds voice control and smart-home automations, including links with Amazon’s $44.99 Smart Air Quality Monitor, though the thermostat lacks native temperature sensors.
