Ecobee Integrates Yale and August Smart Locks into Its App

Ecobee's new partnership with Yale and August allows users to control smart locks via its app, enhancing its smart home ecosystem.

Ecobee has partnered with Yale and August to allow users to control Wi-Fi-enabled smart locks directly from the Ecobee app.
The integration is part of Ecobee's effort to offer a comprehensive smart home system, including its Smart Doorbell Camera and Smart Security system.
Users can lock doors automatically when arming their security system but cannot unlock them through the thermostat or disarm the system via the lock.
The smart lock feature requires a subscription to Ecobee's Smart Security service, costing $5 monthly or $50 annually.
While the integration enhances Ecobee's offerings, some competitors provide similar features without additional subscription costs.
