Because Siri is only available on Apple devices, you must use your Apple device to speak to Siri to be able to control your home.

You can ask Siri to set your ecobee thermostat to a certain scene by saying the following:

• "Hey Siri, good morning." â€’ Sets your thermostat to the Home comfort setting.
• "Hey Siri, good night." ‒ Sets your thermostat to the Sleep comfort setting.
• "Hey Siri, I’m home." ‒ Sets your thermostat to the Home comfort setting.
• "Hey Siri, I’m leaving." ‒ Sets your thermostat to the Away comfort setting.
• "Hey Siri, resume schedule." ‒ Resumes the programmed schedule if the thermostat was placed on hold or was in vacation mode.
