ecobee

ecobee makes smart Wi-Fi thermostats, room sensors, cameras, and other connected home devices. The ecobee API is a REST-like JSON interface, based at https://api.ecobee.com/1/, that lets authorized third-party applications read and control registered ecobee thermostats - retrieving live runtime state, settings, sensors, and equipment status, updating programs and comfort settings via thermostat functions, pulling historical runtime and meter reports, grouping thermostats, and (for EMS and Utility accounts) organizing thermostats in a management-set hierarchy and issuing demand response events. Authorization uses OAuth 2.0 with an ecobee PIN flow or the standard authorization-code flow, plus refresh tokens. NOTE - as of late 2024 ecobee closed its developer program to new API-key registrations; existing keys continue to function.

ecobee publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authorization API, Demand Response API, Group API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Smart Home, Thermostat, IoT, HVAC, and Energy.

ecobee’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 8 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of ecobee, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
