Key Takeaways

  • Best for: Touchscreen plus room-sensor support
  • Standout: HVAC health alerts and filter reminders
  • Watch out: Room sensors cost extra
  • Not for: Buyers who just want the cheapest smart thermostat

The Sensi Touch 2 is a smart thermostat with a color touchscreen, support for Sensi Room Sensors and HVAC health alerts in the Sensi app. It sells for about $150 to $180.

What you need before you buy

  • A 24V HVAC system (furnace, AC or heat pump).
  • A C-wire for some systems; the app checks during setup.
  • Optional room sensors if some rooms run hot or cold.

How it saves energy

Schedules and geofencing ease off when you are away, and usage reports show where your heating and cooling go. Energy Star estimates about 8% savings for certified smart thermostats; Sensi says up to 23%.
