Ecobee shows up on my Appletv, and I can view live HomeKit, but no secure video storage. Might swap out for Eufy, my other eufy cams have been pretty solid

I picked an Ecobee and I’ve been pretty happy so far. Haven’t tested it with my ATV yet but HK pairing was quick and easy and it pops up like any other camera. In fact it has the fastest click-to-view response of all my cameras.

I know it doesnt have HKSV but i got it because of how it deals with detection range using radar. My front door faces a side walk about 25 feet away and the homekit camera I had pointing to my front step was constantly go off when people walk by. If Homekit activity zones actually worked (eufy) I might have considered one of the homekit doorbells with HKSV. So as it stands I have homekit notifications for movement/people detection disabled on my phone for this doorbell and just have it alerting me to button pushes via the apple tv and homepods and am using the ecobee app on my phone for seeing whose there. Biggest complaint is that it needs a subscription for the radar to work. I knew I would need to pay for video storage, but didnt realize they paywalled this feature. I wish apple would step up their camera features in homekit. Edit Looks like radar isn’t paywalled. That’s some good news.

Just passed through button presses and live video feeds. I have it set up to show on the Apple TV but manage the camera via ecobee app.

Can you move the slider without a subscription? I’m still on the trial so I’m not 100% on what’s included etc. the description made it sound like the radar was paywalled

Just switched to EcoBee from Aqara. Loved the Aqara minus 2 things: Didn’t work when it was super cold cause the batteries kept freezing, even though it was hardwired. 2: lack of portrait view. Have to pay for video recording on ecobee which sucks but the camera is better already.

Don’t know if you got one or not, my has been absolute garbage. I have the correct transformer and had to install a wired access point within ten feet to keep it connected on WiFi. My biggest issue is that when someone rings your doorbell, if you try to look at the feed to see who is there, you have to wait for twenty seconds for it to connect as it routes the video feed from the device through their servers then to your phone. When it is recording the interaction, their side of the video handling is not up to the task, so you get a very shitty video feed ten seconds late. Hard pass on ecobee, their products have been enshitified since generac bought them.
