| HomeKit Controller | Works Local | Works in Home | Work well via HomeKit setup code, no developer API account neededSaved copyI have two ecobees that are working well through home assistant via the HomeKit integration but just FYI, they haven’t been accepting new developer accounts for a while now so new people can’t use the API as per the HA docs. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ecobee/ Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-10 |
| HomeKit Controller | Partly works Local | Partly in Home Home/Sleep/Away modes work; custom comfort modes are missing | Local HomeKit works; custom temperature modes missingSaved copyWow, that is pretty limiting... With my ecobee thermostats the only thing I don't really get over homekit that I've noticed are custom temperature modes. If all you want is Home/Sleep/Away, then they are pretty great over home kit. https://preview.redd.it/ey0rkel7yxnf1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0fecebddd91f04b93326d40b0ca1f6a794a7d39 Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-09 |
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.
