Expert opinion

I recently had the opportunity to test out the Ecobee 3 Smart Wi Fi Thermostat with Remote Sensor, 2nd Generation and I have to say that I am impressed. This product is well designed and makes it easy to keep track of your energy usage and temperature in your home.

The Ecobee 3 is a great product for anyone looking to reduce their energy costs while still being comfortable in their home. The thermostat comes with a remote sensor that you can place in different areas of your home so you can monitor the temperature in each room separately. This allows you to adjust the temperature accordingly without having to go around manually adjusting the thermostat all the time.

In addition, the thermostat has a built in Alexa integration which makes it easy to control your temperature even when you arent at home. With just a few simple voice commands, you can tell Alexa to change the temperature or check on how much energy you are using. This feature is great for those who want to save money on their energy bills but dont want to constantly monitor their usage themselves.

The thermostat also comes with an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to use and understand how it works. All of the settings are clearly laid out and there are helpful tips throughout the menus if you need help understanding something. The entire setup process was very straightforward and I was able to get everything up and running in no time.

Overall, I am very happy with my experience with this product and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for an easy way to control their energy usage while still being comfortable in their home. The Ecobee 3 is perfect for those who want an efficient way of controlling their energy bills without having to constantly monitor them, as well as those who want an easy way of controlling their temperature from anywhere in the house.
