It is time to replace my 10+ year old Nest and since I have moved from Android to iOS I am looking for something that will work with Apple home. I see the ecobee listed in the Apple Store but is that the only thing? Or just the one that Apple recommends/has a partnership? I would like one that can use temperature sensors as the bedrooms on either end of the house can vary quite a bit from the thermostat.
I also have a single nest smoke detector and several dumb ones that I need to replace. Are there any that work with Apple home?
Dislike my ecobee pro in my current house. Liked my first gen ecobee in my last house. The new one has a poor quality air quality sensor and I’ve had to calibrate the temp for it to feel proper. Also had to replace a unit that lost its connection with HomeKit and wouldn’t rejoin the home.
For me, my next solution will be based on what works best in Home Assistant.
To be fair, Ecobee isn’t the worst thing in the world, just not a brand I’d buy from a third time.
