<p>You&#8217;ll have access to Family Accounts so long you&#8217;re using the latest version of Ecobee&#8217;s Android or iOS apps.  It&#8217;s a simple update, but it could go a long way toward locking down your smart home tech.  It reduces the chances of a lost phone posing a threat to your smart home account, for a start.  This also makes it more realistic to trust smart home controls to guests.  You can let a good friend turn up the heat without giving them more authority than they really need.</p>

<p>According to the blog, the new SmartThermostat will swap past versions&#8217; plastic display for glass, enhance wireless capabilities and offer dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth. It will also add Spotify Connect and Alexa calling, drop-in and messaging. The new SmartSensor appears to have improved occupancy detection, a longer battery life and an extended pairing range.</p>
<p>These details aren&#8217;t definite, as Ecobee hasn&#8217;t announced the products, but we&#8217;ve reached out to the company to confirm. Ecobee has <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/03/ecobee4-with-amazon-alexa/">worked with Alexa</a> for years, so the added capabilities seem like a natural evolution. And last summer, the company trialed a <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/07/30/ecobee-thermostat-peak-relief/">Peak Relief pilot program</a> that automatically cut down on heating and cooling when electricity rates were at their highest. Perhaps the company is ready to add that feature to its new model. Last month, <em>Zatz Not Funny</em> <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/07/ecobee-home-security-camera-leak/">shared an image</a> of what appeared to be Ecobee&#8217;s first home security camera. With this latest leak, it might seem that Ecobee has at least a few new smart home products in the works.</p>
