ecobee Inc. introduced the world’s first smart wi-fi thermostat to help millions of consumers save money, conserve energy, and seamlessly bring home automation into their lives. With the release of ecobee Switch+, we continue our pursuit to create technology that brings peace of mind and harmony into the home, allowing people to focus on the moments that matter most. ecobee was founded by Stuart Lombard, whose love for tinkering can be traced back to the age of 12, when he built a foldable canoe that could be carried around in a briefcase.
