Ecobee SmartThermostat Review
Terry Walsh/Digital Trends

The savings are on fire, so you really don’t want to miss out on the many Black Friday deals happening right now. Winter will be here sooner than you think, which is why you’ll want to waste no time in snagging this deal on the Ecobee SmartThermostat for $199. It’s one of many Amazon Black Friday deals available right now, but you can uncover more gadget sales with these Black Friday smart home sales.

The Ecobee SmartThermostat is the best smart thermostat if you’re invested in the Amazon Alexa ecosystem. With the extra $50 discount off its normal price, its total cost comes down to $199. It may not seem like a substantial discount, especially when you compare it to other smart home deals that are up for grabs right now, but it’s still notable given that sales on it are not frequent.

When it comes to monitoring the temperature and comfort level of your home, the Ecobee SmartThermostat is one of the most advanced around. With the included SmartSensor, it’ll dynamically adjust the comfort of a room by automatically adjusting the thermostat based on temperature and occupancy. It’s also the simplest smart thermostat to install, so you don’t need to be a pro. And since it supports Amazon’s Alexa, you can leverage voice controls to adjust the temperature to your liking. Using a smart thermostat such as this goes a long way in not only maintaining the temperature of your home, but you’ll also reap the rewards of saving money on your electric bill. It’s the main reason why so many consumers have made the upgrade.

If you’re looking for something that’s compatible with Google Assistant, then consider this the just-released Google Nest Thermostat (2020). It functions similarly but features a more minimalist design that some people may think of as more attractive.

Power or electricity is one of those things that's really easy to take for granted.

Why you should buy the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station
The Anker SOLIX C1000 portable power station offers a 1,056-watt-hour capacity and 1,800 watts of output. It has 11 ports in total, including AC, DC, and USB. Plus, you can double its capacity to 2,112 watt-hours with an expansion battery or recharge it quickly in just 58 minutes while using the UltraFast Mode in Anker's mobile app. Yes, that also means it offers mobile app connectivity and controls.

But what is it? It can be used as a versatile portable power station, whether to get power on the spot -- like when you're off-grid -- or to use as a backup like a UPS, with a less than 20ms switchover in an outage. It even supports up to 600 watts of solar input, so you can connect solar panels and charge them using the sun's fully available energy. Renewable energy truly gets you off the power grid if that's something you're looking to achieve.
