    “Let's compare Nest vs Ecobee to find the BEST smart thermostat.”

  • getmysa.com

    “Like Nest, ecobee does not support line-voltage systems or mini-splits.”

  • hagensieker.com

    “For sure, Nest is more simplistic. But this Ecobee is more powerful.”

  • googlenestcommunity.com

    “Ecobee is widely considered one of the top competitors to Nest and is known for its focus on energy efficiency and smart home integration.”

  • techhive.com

    “To be fair, Nest pioneered this style of easy installation—not to mention the concept that a thermostat can be an attractive appliance on your wall—years ago, but that doesn’t detract from Ecobee’s accomplishment here.”
