Overview

• 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.
