Get a free Echo Dot with Honeywell’s Alexa-enabled smart thermostat

TL;DR: The self-adjusting Honeywell Home T9 WiFi Smart Thermostat now comes with a free Echo Dot (3rd gen) for $179, a savings of $49.99.

CNN just held a seven-hour long climate town hall, giving 10 Democratic presidential aspirants a chance to speak. Vox called it “the most substantive discussion of climate change policies ever broadcast on primetime television.”

As your average Earth inhabitant, it can be overwhelming to wrap your head around what you can do to help. Give up cheeseburgers? Boycott airplanes? Become the plastic straw police? 

One easy place to start is by reducing your energy usage at home. Honeywell’s Home T9 WiFi Smart Thermostat was ranked one of the best smart thermostats of 2019 by PCMag, and grabbing one gets you a free Echo Dot — a value of $49.99. (Amazon says it’s a bigger discount than that, but the T9 by itself still goes for the advertised $179.)

The transition from summer to fall can make it pretty tough to find a comfortable temperature at home. Mornings are chilly, but afternoons can get as hot as July heat waves — but blasting your AC all day is not the answer. Instead, the Honeywell sensors detect which rooms people are in and focus cooling (or heating) where it matters and avoid waste where it doesn’t. 

If you’re not home, you can turn the AC or heat on from your smartphone right before you get home. There’s also an option to set a recurring schedule.

A free Echo Dot lets you put the convenience of hands-free weather checking, reminder making, or album shuffling in any room. Your thermostat can also be adjusted by asking Alexa.

Regularly $228.99 if you bought both items separately, you can save $49.99 when you grab the bundle for $179.99.
