Let Alexa control your heating and cooling with Amazon’s smart thermostat at $60 in New Green Deals

If you’ve been holding off on picking up a smart programmable thermostat due to cost, well, the wait is over. Right now, we’re tracking Amazon’s in-house smart programmable thermostat on sale for $60 at Best Buy, though the deal ends at midnight. Down from $80, you’ll find Wi-Fi connectivity here alongside voice commands and app control. Alexa can also learn when you’re home or away to help conserve energy when the house is empty. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Amazon’s Smart Programmable Thermostat upgrades your A/C

Today only, as part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Amazon Smart Programmable Thermostat for $59.99 shipped. Having seen a price hike to $80 in January, today’s deal marks a return to its original MSRP, and only the second time in 2023 that we’ve seen it being offered for this price. If you’re ready to bring smarts to the heating and cooling setup of your home, then this is a great way to do it without breaking the bank. You’ll find that Amazon’s in-house smart programmable thermostat packs Alexa compatibility so you can use a mobile app or voice commands to change the temperature. Of course, you can set it yourself from the physical thermostat, too. You can even let Alexa program this thermostat for you in order to help save on heating and cooling costs.

How does this work? Well, through Alexa Hunches (or just simply telling your Echo when you’re leaving or coming home), the thermostat can kick into an away mode. When in this mode, it changes how the heating and cooling of your house is controlled. Doing that can help to save you money day after day, since you’ll no longer be heating or cooling an empty house. Plus, since you’ll be able to change the thermostat with a smartphone app or voice command, it’ll be easier than ever to turn the house up or down depending on how you’re feeling, which could also lead to additional savings throughout the year.

Finally ditch gas and oil this spring

Home Depot is offering the RYOBI 48V 30-inch Electric Riding Lawn Mower for $2,499 shipped. Today’s deal comes in at $1,500 in savings which is 38% off the typical $3,999 list price. This price also marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked as well. While not the brand-new lithium-ion version that we wrote about the other day, this electric riding mower is still a great way to kick gas and oil to the curb.

RYOBI’s 30-inch 48V riding mower leverages a 50Ah 48V lead-acid battery that runs the three brushless motors. A single charge of the battery will net around one acre of mowing, or around an hour of runtime before you need to plug back in. There’s two steel blades underneath that combine to provide a 30-inch cutting deck which makes it a great option for homeowners with fences as it still fits through the gate with ease in most scenarios. The deck itself has seven height positions that you can choose from starting at 1.5 and going up to 4.5 inches so you can really dial it in. On top of that, you won’t need a single drop of gas or motor oil for this mower, and yearly maintenance is cut down to a minimum compared to a standard ICE motor.
