Title: Review: ecobee3 HomeKit-enabled smart Wi-Fi thermostat Post by: HCK on April 29, 2016, 04:05:23 pm Review: ecobee3 HomeKit-enabled smart Wi-Fi thermostat

In fact, the race began back in 2008, when a small startup named ecobee debuted the world's first Wi-Fi connected smart thermostat. Hence, it's probably only fitting that the company's ecobee3 was the first thermostat to join the club when Apple's HomeKit home automation framework came online. In addition to providing control via HomeKit, ecobee3 has more than a few of its own unique capabilities to recommend it, and like other HomeKit devices we've taken a look at recently, was an existing product that added HomeKit capabilities, rather than a new product released specifically for HomeKit. {/exp:char_limit} Source: Review: ecobee3 HomeKit-enabled smart Wi-Fi thermostat (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/ecobee3-homekit-enabled-smart-wi-fi-thermostat) |
