Smart thermostat maker Ecobee just wrapped up a $61 million Series C, bringing the Toronto-based company’s total funding to $146 million. This latest round features investments from Energy Impact Partners, Thomvest, Relay Ventures and, most notably, Amazon’s Alexa Fund, which has taken a particularly interest in the company’s products of late.

No surprise, really. Ecobee has been particularly bullish about embracing Amazon’s smart assistant. In fact, in May of last year, the company became one of the first Amazon product to build Alexa functionality directly into its own products.
