HOW DO I CHOOSE A STAT?

The range of smart thermostats can be quite overwhelming at first glance, but narrowing down your choices won’t take too long… and you can start by focusing on the five we’ve mentioned here. Of course, one of your first checks should be that a stat is going to work with your central heating, but that shouldn’t take long (and the answer will probably be yes).

After that, make sure a stat is going to work happily with your other connected kit. You can have a smart home powered by Google Assistant, Alexa or Homekit, for example, so your stat needs to be compatible. Plus, if there’s a specific feature you need – such as room-by-room control – make sure it’s covered in the specs before you buy.
