| Our verdict | The ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium sits at the higher end of the category, combining an external remote sensor with onboard Siri and Alexa access. While HomeKit compatibility offers a degree of local command, broader operation remains tied to standard Wi-Fi and manufacturer cloud services rather than emerging local standards like Thread. Buyers should confirm HVAC wire compatibility before purchase and decide whether integrated microphones belong on their wall. | This add-on provides basic remote monitoring and garage door control via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It operates primarily through Chamberlain's proprietary myQ cloud, meaning local control via standard smart home protocols is absent. Buyers should verify garage door opener compatibility before purchasing. |
