re: Honeywell takes a page from Nest

article is semi-accurate because any thermostat hooked up to a smart hub can do WAAAAAY more than out-of-the-box.

The Ecobee is the only device we tested that supports multiple zones.

he mentions the lyric & nest don't have multi-zone sensors but yet admits they work with wink & other hubs that support changing the temp based on a separate temp sensor in another room.

at the very least he could have used an asterisk when discussing this feature because it makes him look like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

do your homework, blogman.

Sorry - it's simply not true that Ecobee can support multiple zones. IT definitely CAN'T! It supports multiple thermostats, however it is not able to control multiple zones, which makes multiple thermostats kind of obsolete and nonsensical (unless you want to raise room temperature everywhere if you for example your bedroom is too cold). If you need multiple zone control support you need to get evohome or tado.
