Ecobee Plans Pricing
The ecobee API has historically been offered as a free developer program - a developer registers a free ecobee account, creates an application, receives an application (API) key, and then accesses only thermostats that end users authorize via the OAuth PIN or authorization-code flow. There is no published metered fee for calling the API; access is governed by scopes (smartRead, smartWrite, ems) and account type (Smart consumer accounts vs EMS/Utility accounts). IMPORTANT - as of late 2024, ecobee closed the consumer developer program to new API-key registrations; existing keys continue to work, and EMS/Utility (commercial energy) programs are handled through ecobee sales rather than open self-serve signup.
Ecobee Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for ecobee on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 2 plans, covering free and enterprise tiers, with named plans including Developer Program (Free), EMS / Utility (Commercial).
Tagged areas include Smart Home, Thermostat, IoT, Energy, and Plans.
Plans
Free access to the ecobee API for authorized third-party applications. Requires a free ecobee account and an application key; the app can only read and control thermostats that end users have explicitly authorized. No per-call fee is published. NOTE - closed to new API-key registrations as of late 2024; existing keys still function.
