I am now going to do some extra competitor analysis, but the ones that will look into this time will be more focused towards any products out there that are quite similar to what i have came up with.

Nest
Nest is a smart thermostat which was developed by Google, it uses AI and automation to optimise home heating and cooling. It’s one of the most popular smart thermostats that is currently on the market because it is known for its energy-saving features and overall smart and sleek design.
Some of the features that are involved in it are,
EcoBee

Some of the features it includes,
