Nest Third Generation Thermostat
The Nest Thermostat learns the temperature settings you prefer to use around the house. Nest

More than just a way of controlling the temperature in your house, smart thermostats are money-savers, helping you save about a hundred dollars every year. These also allow you to change the temperature remotely, either through an app or via voice control, and can integrate with a compatible home smart device. In some cases, they even learn your behavior, tailoring your home air conditioning unit to turn on only when needed.

It is good to know that not all smart thermostats are made equal, with some boasting a customizable touchscreen to add color and personality to your home system. Still, having one ensures that you not only save money, but also are no longer worried about accidentally leaving the AC on when leaving the house. With that, here are some of the best smart thermostats for your home in 2020:
