Best Affordable Smart Thermostats of 2023 - CNET
Chris Monroe/CNET
The Wyze Thermostat is another sub-$100 smart thermostat that we liked during testing, although this one has a couple more caveats than the excellent Amazon Smart Thermostat. Available for as little as $61, this model is slightly more affordable than the Amazon model above, and includes a C-wire adapter with your purchase. The Wyze Thermostat also has an easy set up via the Wyze app — and it works with Alexa and Google Assistant (though there’s no Apple HomeKit support).
Unfortunately, the hardware itself isn’t as well-designed as Amazon’s, and I found it difficult to adjust the temperature at the thermostat. However, if you already have a bunch of Wyze products and plan to mostly use the Wyze app to make adjustments, this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
