ecobee3 Lite Smart Thermostat

There are a ton of smart thermostats on the market, but the one that fits the bill best for short-term rental applications is the ecobee3 Lite Smart Thermostat. This one gives you all the controls you need

  • Remote access – that you can share with others easily if needed
  • Temperature limits – to ensure guests don’t turn the thermostat to extreme temperatures
  • Temperature warnings – if things get too cold or too hot in the property
  • HVAC alerts – if the system is calling for heat and the temperature drops, for example, you’ll get an alert
  • Easy controls – these are typically easy for guests to use without issue

The other most popular thermostat on the market, the Nest Learning Thermostat, is not recommended by our team.
