ecobee

I have had my same Ecobee 3 for 10 years now, they have continued support for this ancient relic and it’s connected to HA, Homekit, Google. Moved with me 3 times, and works flawlessly. If you can spend a few bucks more, get one.

I've kind of gone off the deep end with this, I originally had Nest which was an unreliable high latency convoluted asynchronous multi-step integration, endlessly tweaking my wifi setup, the internet connection, even buying e new replacement nest. Finally threw it all away and got an Ecobee Enhanced at a deep discount from my local NJ PSE&G store for customers. We have forced hot/cold air in the home, and it is ancient with poor insulatation and one zone. So for my use case I put in individually controllable vent shutters in each room. As the really good motion sensors are expensive, I use …

Check your local utility for rebates. Mine has massive rebates on Ecobee thermostats right now. I was able to get an an Ecobee premium for $80. Had I wanted, the Ecobee essential was $10. Both will work over homekit, although I'm using the Ecobee integration.

I swapped to an Ecobee last year as a renter. It was relatively easy (pretty simple installation and wiring) and required very little from the HA side. I still feel like the integration is rock solid and setting up automations/scenes/schedules was easy. Idk if it’s the most technically capable thermostat out there, but it was definitely the right choice for me!

Last week someone posted that we can use the Ecobee integration again, and low and behold, it worked. I switched back to the Ecobee integration from Homekit since it exposes the custom comfort settings vice just Heat Cool. Sharing is caring

We use an ecobee thermostat with our unit. The official integration for HA is cloud-dependent, but it also supports HomeKit which is entirely local. HA will just talk to the thermostat over LAN that way.

… users have a choice to not be tied to a cloud service and use an entirely local protocol, but on the flipside it will avoid confusion where they pair via HomeKit not realising its not the ecobee integration. I am conflicted on this. Note that the ecobee integration is a sync cloud poll integration, and its homekit controller counter part is now an async local push. Apparently 0.107 is working out so well for one beta user that they use the pushed climate state to trigger automations when their heating comes on, and its near instantaneous. I've also heard from other users that it still works …
