Emerson Sensi Touch 2
Score: 77/100Rankings
Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium combines a 4-inch high-resolution touchscreen with built-in air-quality monitoring, smoke detection, and SmartSensor room control. It demands a C-wire (or Power Extender Kit) and carries a higher price point. It excels for users desiring premium features and robust performance.
Emerson's Sensi Touch 2 offers a full-color touchscreen and Alexa voice control with a focus on privacy and easy DIY installation. It mandates a C-wire and currently supports only Alexa, limiting broader smart-home ecosystems. It fits well for users who prioritize a sleek interface and straightforward setup.
