How to Make a Smart Home with Ecobee Smart Home Devices

Here’s a comprehensive Ecobee-based smart home solution to help you create an intelligent and connected living space focused on climate control and energy efficiency:

Ecobee SmartThermostat: This smart thermostat enables you to control your home’s temperature through the Ecobee app, voice commands, or its touchscreen interface. It also features built-in Alexa voice control and compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings.

Ecobee3 lite: A more affordable smart thermostat option that still offers remote temperature control and compatibility with various smart home ecosystems but lacks some features of the Ecobee SmartThermostat.

Ecobee Room Sensors: These sensors detect occupancy and temperature in individual rooms, helping the Ecobee thermostat maintain a comfortable and energy-efficient climate throughout your home. The sensors can be placed in multiple rooms to create a more balanced temperature.

Ecobee SmartCamera: A smart security camera that integrates with the Ecobee ecosystem, allowing you to monitor your home in real-time and receive notifications of any unusual activity.

Ecobee SmartSensor for doors and windows: These sensors detect open/closed status and can be used to trigger automations, such as adjusting the thermostat or sending notifications when doors or windows are opened or closed.

Ecobee Switch+: A smart light switch that features built-in Alexa voice control and can be programmed to automatically turn lights on and off based on room occupancy or a schedule, saving energy and enhancing convenience.

Ecobee Haven: A subscription-based home monitoring service that pairs with Ecobee devices like the SmartCamera and SmartSensor for doors and windows, offering a comprehensive home security solution.

While Ecobee focuses primarily on climate control and home security, you can expand your smart home system by integrating it with other compatible smart devices and ecosystems. For example, you can connect Ecobee with Philips Hue smart lighting, August smart locks, or Lutron Caséta Wireless dimmers and switches to create a more comprehensive and intelligent home environment.
