jmb Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I've heard Houselogix, Black Wire design, and the drivers lab sell Control 4 drivers for Ecobee thermostats. Are they all the same driver or are they different? If they are different any recommendations? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c44me Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Looking at buying as well. Ecobee 3 or 4? Which driver? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin L Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 If you guys would like a trial key let me know. I can provide you keys and you can have someone install the driver remotely. The BlackWire Designs driver is in a very large amount of installs. It works great. We also support the mini sensors and allow you to do extra programming functions with them.

I did the Ecobee 3, as the pricing was better and with Control 4, didn't see using the Alexa functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen any applications or examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the sensor decides the room is unoccupied you can have it trigger some programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedriverslab Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hey guys, Just saw this. The Houselogix driver is ours, we have been offering the Ecobee driver since 2013 with the original Ecobee thermostat. Our driver supports ALL connected Ecobee Thermostats as well as the remote sensors. We also offer the driver for free with the purchase of an Ecobee thermostat and remote installation. Let us know if anyone needs a trial key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
