I installed the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium in our home, and WOW what an upgrade. Not only does it look absolutely perfect, it integrates locally into Home Assistant via the Apple HomeKit integration. This allows for us to have full control without being dependent on the cloud or even internet service. The Ecobee is by far my favorite thermostat! After I unbox it, I'll show you how I installed it and set it up with automations in Home Assistant. I round things out with my final thoughts.
