"Ecobee's Smart Doorbell Camera: A Game-Changer for Home Security and Thermostat Integration"
Canadian startup Ecobee, which launched its first smart thermostat in 2008, is expanding its smart home ecosystem with the launch of a smart video doorbell and enhancements to its smart security system. Ecobee aims to differentiate itself from competitors like Nest by offering a range of features, including a smart speaker, indoor air quality monitoring, smoke and CO alarm listening, temperature and humidity sensing, and radar-powered motion sensing. The company also plans to support the new universal smart home standard Matter. Ecobee's focus on context and energy management aligns with its goal of achieving a net-zero-energy home of the future.
