If you've ever thought about upgrading from your home's regular thermostat to a smart thermostat but haven't done it yet, the reason you haven't done it is probably the money, right? Most of these smart thermostats cost hundreds of dollars, and that can cause some serious hesitation even on a device that could really improve your quality of life like these smart thermostats can. Well, maybe the Amazon Smart Thermostat is your chance to try something new. It's even on sale today and down to just $47.99 through Amazon, which is $12 off its regular price and a match for the lowest we've ever seen. It has only dropped this low a couple times in the past, including over Black Friday, so this is your opportunity to score a Black Friday deal well after the fact.
