Product lines

How the 4 ecobee families here actually differ

These are not marketing tiers. Each group below behaves differently under diagnosis, which is why a procedure written for one does not transfer to another, and it is the first thing to settle before following any fix.

ecobee thermostat; HVAC equipment type, PEK/C-wire, sensor assignment, installer settings and account ownership vary.

ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera (wired); it replaces an existing wired doorbell and is a different product line from the thermostats, with its own support articles.
