It is time to replace my 10+ year old Nest and since I have moved from Android to iOS I am looking for something that will work with Apple home. I see the ecobee listed in the Apple Store but is that the only thing? Or just the one that Apple recommends/has a partnership? I would like one that can use temperature sensors as the bedrooms on either end of the house can vary quite a bit from the thermostat.
I also have a single nest smoke detector and several dumb ones that I need to replace. Are there any that work with Apple home?
You have to turn off the learning features of Nest if you’re going to rely on HomeKit “I’m home geofence” or other commands. Use HomeKit to schedule times and temps — not the Nest app’s scheduling software. The schedule in your Nest app should be blank/empty.
