so at first glance the thermostat right
here looks just like the original eco be
three Wi-Fi smart thermostat we've
already tested but this model is
actually a totally different model a
next-gen model called the Eco v3 light
smart thermostat at 80 bucks less it
costs just 169 bucks it's available in
the u.s. at most major retailers and it
has a lot of the things I love about the
original eco p3 but it's a little bit
pared down and obviously it costs a lot
less which is great so you'll find all
the same integrations it works with
Amazon Alexa it works with apple's
homekit it works with Samsung
smartthings wink if all of the smart
home platforms we love to use but it
doesn't actually come with a remote
sensor that little sensor you could
stick throughout your house that would
help equalize temperatures among rooms
so if that's something you really want
you might want to go up to the Eco b3
they'll continue selling it but if you
want a nice smart thermostat that's more
like a smart programmable model that
doesn't have built-in algorithms or
geofencing or any of the super fancy
stuff this light version is a really
smart bet it works well it has a
touchscreen interface just like the
original and it's a model that I really
like I would recommend it over the
similarly priced Emerson sense
