I’ve got to hand it to Ecobee for “getting it” when it comes to creating a product that’s easy to operate and administer. I’m mean seriously… who doesn’t like a gadget that can be hooked up to your wireless network and give you remote access from any web browser? Even better, one that can save you money in the long run and help your home consume energy more responsibly? Well, that’s pretty much what you get with the Ecobee’s programmable Wi-Fi thermostat. Ecobee has designed their Smart Thermostat to replace your outdated manual setting thermostat for a 21st century smart device that’s programmable to a degree that would make even modern off-the-shelf products envious. The Ecobee Thermostat offers a large 3.5-inch touch screen, 7-day programming, a personalized management web portal, live weather forecasts, email / SMS alerts, diagnostic alerts, maintenance reminders, and even electricity consumption monitoring of your home devices using its optional Smart Energy Modules. Availability: Early 2009 | MSRP $385 [via]
