Title: Upgrade Your Thermostat for Winter With This Ecobee Deal for $120

Save this storySave this storyPsst—I’m going to let you in on a little secret as a smart-home editor. Even though I now own the much-lauded Ecobee Premium ($260) smart thermostat, I had an Ecobee3 Lite for eight years, and I loved it just as much. It’s everything you need a smart thermostat to be, without weird add-ons you’ll never actually use, like occupancy detection and a built-in speaker for podcast streaming. (Unless you regularly listen to Uncanny Valley on your thermostat, in which case, you do you.)

作为一名智能家居编辑，我要告诉你一个小秘密。尽管我现在拥有备受赞誉的 Ecobee Premium（260 美元）智能恒温器，但我曾使用过八年的 Ecobee3 Lite，而且我同样喜欢它。它具备了智能恒温器所需的一切功能，没有那些你永远不会用到的奇怪附加功能，比如占用检测和用于播放播客的内置扬声器。（除非你经常在恒温器上收听《恐怖谷》，如果是那样的话，那就随你吧。）

The Ecobee3 Lite has a touchscreen and app control and is compatible with Ecobee sensors if you want to split the temperature difference across floors in your home. However, many people simply want to be able to turn their thermostat on and off from their phone and have the ability to set schedules. For this, the Lite has you covered.

Ecobee3 Lite 配备了触摸屏和应用程序控制功能，如果你想平衡家中不同楼层的温差，它还兼容 Ecobee 传感器。然而，许多人只是想通过手机开关恒温器并设置时间表。对于这些需求，Lite 完全可以满足。

During the brand’s fall sale, it’s just $120 with free shipping—and it comes with the same three-year warranty as a new model.

If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your thermostat but missed Prime Day and don’t want to wait until Black Friday, you may want to take a peek at this sale, which ends Wednesday, October 21.

如果你一直想升级恒温器，但错过了 Prime Day，又不想等到黑色星期五，那么你不妨看看这次促销活动，活动将于 10 月 21 日星期三结束。

Refurbished versions of the Enhanced ($170) and Premium ($220) thermostat models are available as well, plus packages that include Ecobee security accessories. I have tried most of the brand’s add-ons and find Ecobee to be a bit buggy as a security and smart-home ecosystem (not the best, but also not the worst); however, I do heartily recommend the smart thermostat alone.

Enhanced（170 美元）和 Premium（220 美元）恒温器型号的翻新版也有售，此外还有包含 Ecobee 安全配件的套装。我尝试过该品牌的大多数附加产品，发现 Ecobee 作为安全和智能家居生态系统存在一些小故障（不是最好的，但也不是最差的）；不过，我确实衷心推荐这款智能恒温器本身。

If you already have an Ecobee thermostat, you can also score a set of not-refurbished security sensors for $50, or the Ecobee video doorbell for $130, which lets you see and speak to visitors through your phone—or thermostat.

如果你已经拥有 Ecobee 恒温器，你还可以以 50 美元的价格购买一套全新的安全传感器，或者以 130 美元的价格购买 Ecobee 可视门铃，它让你能够通过手机或恒温器查看访客并与他们交谈。
