Ecobee thermostats connect over Wi-Fi and are controlled through ecobee's cloud and app. Ecobee lists Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings as supported, and the Premium model has Alexa or Siri built in. We found no Matter support on ecobee's pages.
That suits a wired North American HVAC system where room sensors and voice control matter. It is weaker for open platforms: ecobee says it is not taking new developer registrations, so cloud integrations in Home Assistant and openHAB rely on existing keys or on local HomeKit control.

The main app, which is still named ecobee in the store address. It controls the thermostats and the Smart Doorbell Camera and SmartCamera, shows energy reports, filter and HVAC alerts, and also covers Generac PWRcell batteries and related products. Some security features need an ecobee Smart Security plan. The listing shows version 26.20.0 and requires iOS 17 or later, and it lists iPad and Apple Watch support. Published by ecobee Ltd. The listing names no voice assistants. We could not load the Google Play page, so the Android link is unverified. We could not confirm an Android listing link.

| Open platforms and developer access | |||
| Home Assistant | Yes | Home Assistant has a built-in ecobee integration for thermostats and sensors, including ventilator and auxiliary heat controls. It polls ecobee's cloud and is community maintained, not by ecobee. Since version 2026.3 sign-in with an ecobee account works without a developer API key. A June 2024 forum thread says users can instead use the local HomeKit integration, which needs no key but lacks some features. | Home Assistant ecobee Home Assistant forum thread |
| Homey | Official | Athom publishes an official ecobee app, listed for Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. It covers the Enhanced and Premium thermostats, the Ecobee3 Lite and the Room Sensor, and every listed device is marked Homey Bridge required. It connects through the cloud, and updates can take up to 3 minutes because of API limitations. | Homey ecobee app |
| openHAB | Yes | The ecobee binding is in openHAB's add-on list. It connects to ecobee's cloud API and covers thermostats and remote sensors. Setup needs an API key from the ecobee developer menu, which ecobee is not currently issuing to new developers. It is maintained by the openHAB project, not ecobee. | openHAB ecobee binding ecobee developer page |
| Hubitat | Yes | Hubitat's documentation has an ecobee integration page, but we could not read its content, so how it connects is unconfirmed. A separate community driver posted in June 2026 controls an ecobee locally over HomeKit, supports ecobee3, ecobee3 lite, ecobee4 and ecobee SmartThermostat, and lists 2022 Premium and Enhanced models as unconfirmed. | Hubitat docs Hubitat community driver |
