I recall a while back Ecobee was blocking Home Assistant users, apparently by locking down api access.

A quick search tells me that they now have an official integration and are good with Home Assistant again.

That is truly good news! I had previously written this company off for being hostile to self-hosters but apparently have cleared their name.

Integration still uses ecobee cloud api I think, buy no longer needing a developer api key or whatever program thrybshut down a couple years ago. Setting up using homekit stuff is local.
