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?
Ecobee works, but I’m not a fan of dealing with the thermostat’s built-in UI. It also doesn’t have an “eco” range setting like Nest does. If you’re inputting everything through the home app, you’ll probably be fine. Ecobee also sells occupancy+temperature sensors that you can use to tune the thermostat further.
