Yes, that's true, but that assumes, that everyone has an echo or
an echo dot, in order to work their smart thermostat, or other
smart devices. That, and Lloyd's comment about needing someone to
install it, and the compatability issues, still applies.

Good Morning Lloyd and everyone, there are also thermostats on
the market
now that are called Smart Thermostats and are operated in
conjunction with
your Echo devices.

Good morning. I am wearing my engineer hat at the moment. I'm
sure this is a
good unit, although you might explain why you don't need it any
longer. Some
of these thermostats have limitations as to what they can be
connected to.
Although the thermostat is free, you will probably need to pay
someone to
install it, or find out that it isn't compatible with your
heating/air
conditioning equipment. Some research needs to be done.
I only know of two companies that made talking thermostats. One
is
talkingthermostats.com in Minneapolis. They have a good
reputation of
helpfulness. The other devices were the Kelvin thermostats from
Independent
Living Aids. We have one of these in our house and it is handy,
although it
needs a new set of batteries every few months and has
occasionally locked
up. We paid to have it installed by the company that maintains
our
heating/air conditioning system. It is no longer made, I think.
Ask questions. I'm sure this unit can find a good home.
