The Ecobee4 has everything you could possibly want from a thermostat, including a built-in Alexa speaker.
Ecobee's $249 Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat has a responsive display, a remote sensor and tons of smart integrations, including a built-in Amazon Alexa speaker.
The price is high, particularly if you don't care about the Alexa speaker or the Ecobee4's other smart capabilities.
There's no comparison -- the Ecobee4 is the best smart thermostat available today.
Expert review by : John Patrick Pullen (digitaltrends.com)
With an excellent whole-home sensor system, an easy-to-use interface, and a simple app, the Ecobee4 is a solid choice for a smart thermostat. The fact that it's an Amazon Alexa speaker just sweetens the deal.
Sets temps based on schedules and geo-fencing ; Remote sensors improve accuracy ; Works with other Alexa devices ; Easy-to-use interface and app
Can't change Alexa wake word ; No Alexa control of HVAC
We recommend Ecobee4. Due largely to its ability to connect with remote sensors, the smart thermostat performs extremely well, offering users an array of features and configurations that can make homes feel warmer and perform better.

The Ecobee4 has all the Nest's features and more, and also maintains your home at a comfortable temperature.

Built-in Alexa voice technology, integration with other connected home products, a remote room sensor, and numerous wiring options make the Ecobee4 the smart thermostat to beat.

Editors' note (May 9, 2017): Amazon introduced Echo-to-Echo Alexa voice calling today. This feature isn't currently supported by the Ecobee4 thermostat.

Expert review by : Jason D'Aprile (techhive.com)
Our favorite smart thermostat gets a little smarter thanks to Alexa, but it's otherwise identical to the previous generation.
Remote sensor makes a big difference ; Easy setup ; Great touchscreen interface
Alexa integration seems a bit unnecessary ; Otherwise the same as the 3 ; Harder to install without the C-wire
Aside from Alexa, the Ecobee4 is basically identical to the Ecobee3. It comes with one remote sensor just as before, uses the same app, functions identically, and uses basically the same touchscreen interface. It’s sharp, easy to use, and has excellent...

The ecobee4 is easily one of the best smart thermostats you can buy, the only questions being compatibility with your house and whether you can justify its hefty price tag.
Expert review by : John Carlsen (toptenreviews.com)
Among smart thermostats, the ecobee4 has few equals. It holds up well against the Nest Learning Thermostat in every category we tested. This in mainly because the manufacturer's customer support is outstanding, the mobile app is intuitive and the...
The ecobee4's voice control features help make it easy to use.
It requires a C wire, which can complicate the setup process.
The ecobee4 is a solid smart thermostat, and its remote sensors, voice controls and ample customer support options create a great user experience.
