Ecobee’s Thermostats are Getting Artificial Intelligence, But Not Like Nest
 

Ecobee

One of the significant differences between Ecobee’s Smart Thermostats and Nest’s Learning Thermostats is the “learning” aspect. Nest tries to learn your schedule and adjust intelligently. Ecobee doesn’t. But now, it is getting a lot smarter—just in a different way.
Ecobee Was a “Dumb” Smart Thermostat

Ecobee differentiates its thermostats from Nest through multiple deliberate choices. The company has always focused on external temperature sensors and unlike Nest includes one with its smart thermostats. The company also strives to match the user interface of the thermostat to the Ecobee app (for iOS and Android), which makes it simple and intuitive to use.
