I didn't even see they had a new version out. But no I am not interested in he whole Alexa thing. Maybe if they lower the price of a Alexa to say $20-$30 then I may pick one up. But my Ecobee can do the whole Siri thing from my iphone etc. Plus I believe if you have an existing Alexa in place mine can connect to it. Overall I am very happy with my Ecobee and it really has saved us money.You going to upgrade to the Ecobee 4 now @nodle.I don't think I will. It looks a little sleeker, but doesn't seem to do much more functionality wise (other than having Alexa built in). I don't see Alexa build in as a big deal - I control mine through my Vera controller anyway - and you can already control the 3 with a separate Alexa device. It would only make sense for someone that doesn't have a 3 year or really wants an alexa device where their thermostat is placed
