Wyze Thermostat

The Verdict.

7.2/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

The cheapest credible smart thermostat. Right call for Wyze ecosystem households or secondary properties where $79 hits the budget exactly. Step up to the Amazon Smart Thermostat if you live in Alexa, or the Ecobee Enhanced if you want the real flagship experience.
