With a smart thermostat, you can control your air conditioning system with your phone, tablet, speaker, or other devices that can connect to the internet. Many brands have come to create and develop smart thermostats with features that help you control your thermostat with a device that you have nearby. Even if you are not home, you can conveniently access your thermostat to your liking.
Energy Reports
Nest and Ecobee smart thermostat generates energy reports to track the amount of electricity you use in your home. Energy reports can show you the amount of energy you spend in your home every month. Through the app, you will have access to all your history and no longer have to wonder why your energy bills were high in a particular month. This feature allows you to improve your monthly energy usage and create better habits that lower your monthly bills.
Indoor Air Quality Control
Humidifiers and air cleaners are some of the tools you can use to improve the air quality in your home. Some of these devices can be placed separately throughout your home, but having a smart thermostat that has features that enhance your home’s air quality will help you sleep and breathe better in your home. Additionally, you can remove allergens and pollutants in your home.

Zoning Systems
Different rooms and areas in your house will need temperature adjustments during the day. Your kitchen, living room, and bedroom can benefit from the zoning system as it allows you to set up different temperatures for rooms in your home.
A zoning system can help homeowners lower heating/cooling in empty rooms for a large home. Sensor-based zoning works with a smart thermostat. This type of feature is only functional if your thermostat controls your entire home’s overall temperature.

Some smart thermostats will even let you know when there is someone in your home through sensor capabilities.
