I got ecobee lite 3 thermostat almost 21 month ago and happy to report it works locally just fine. I paired it with HA via HomeKit integration and barred it from accessing Internet. My other thermostat is Google Nest, which will be deprecated within a month and will become a dumb knob. I’ll probably replace it with another ecobee too

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
