I recently made the switch from the Ecobee integration to the HomeKit integration because my Ecobee consistently loses connection to the ecobee.com server. It doesn’t lose connection to my router, just the server, but I still lose all remote access until it’s reset. It’s some longstanding bug either with my ISP, my router, or the device itself, but I’ve had no success fixing it, so I’m moving to local.
From what I’ve read, HomeKit should completely eliminate this issue because the Ecobee does not have to communicate with the server, right? However, the bug happened this morning and my HomeKit integration lost connection to the device. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. The device is paired with HomeKit and I’m not using the Ecobee integration anywhere in my system. Should I reset the device completely and start fresh?
