The main way smart thermostats save electricity is by reducing your heating and cooling automatically when it's not needed. The device determines the need by predicting when people are home and away.

Smart thermostats like the ecobee smart thermostat can reduce energy bills by up to 23%.

My pops has a nest and he says it definitely works.

Not into having a thermostat that listens to me speak, and if it’s paying attention to when I’m home or not home I definitely don’t want it.
