We recommend the best smart thermostats for your Apple Home

1 Elgato eve degree $69.95 elgato.com

Ideal if you’re renting or don’t want your thermostat to be permanently fixed to a wall, the Eve Degree is a battery-powered device that’s great for controlling temperature and humidity in your home. Compatible with Apple HomeKit, it uses Bluetooth Low Energy tech and is beautiful to look at and easy to use.

2 Honeywell lyric t5 $149.95 honeywell.com

Honeywell’s Lyric thermostat takes pride of place on the Apple Store, and its HomeKit support makes it a good option for iPhone users. The price doesn’t include installation, however, so you’ll need to find a local electrician or HVAC engineer to install it for you.

3 Nest Learning Thermostat $249 store.nest.com

There’s no HomeKit support, sadly, but the Learning Thermostat from Google’s Nest will earn its keep. It’s smart enough to monitor both your energy usage and your family’s routine, adjusting the heating automatically and saving you the trouble of programming it yourself.

4 ecobee3 lite $169.95 shop.ecobee.com

This smart thermostat is stylish and works with HomeKit, making it easy to control using Siri, a compatible Apple TV or even the new HomePod, or its touchscreen display or the free app for iPhone or iPad. Team it with ecobee’s range of smart sensors (sold in pairs) for even better HVAC control.

5 iDevices thermostat $149 store.idevicesinc.com

While it’s not quite as stylish or as fully-featured as some of the other smart thermostats here, this model from iDevices gets all the basics right — and has all the functionality you need. It’s even HomeKit-compatible. You can request professional installation directly from the iDevices store.
