Hey all, I spent the weekend updating my home’s thermostat to a smart model. I took a somewhat unusual path and went with a discontinued 2nd Gen Nest thermostat. Read about my journey - Nest Thermostat in 2026 - Artificially-Awesome

Ecobee can be completely local with whatever apples home tech is on home assistant.
I recall a while back Ecobee was blocking Home Assistant users, apparently by locking down api access.
A quick search tells me that they now have an official integration and are good with Home Assistant again.
That is truly good news! I had previously written this company off for being hostile to self-hosters but apparently have cleared their name.
Integration still uses ecobee cloud api I think, buy no longer needing a developer api key or whatever program thrybshut down a couple years ago. Setting up using homekit stuff is local.
