Your doorbell cam might have just picked up Google Home support
TL;DR Ecobee is finally getting Google Home smart camera support. The company has so far only confirmed compatibility with its wired Smart Doorbell Camera. Smart cameras are a great, affordable way to keep an eye on your home and valuables, whether you're traveling across the country or just hanging out in the backyard. And we've got no shortage of options to choose from when it comes to companies making them. If you're not committed to just one brand, though, that can quickly turn into a messy situation where you're juggling multiple apps. Luckily, Google Home is happy to help, and it's becoming even more helpful this week as it adds support for its latest camera manufacturer. Once connected to Google Home, working with cameras from different companies becomes a lot easier. You can see them all together in one big list in the app on your Android phone, or even pull up feeds on smart displays like your Nest Hub. Major brands like Arlo and Wyze have supported Home for ages, and last year we saw Philips Hue join the club. Now Ecobee cameras are coming to Home, as well. Ecobee's a brand you may associate first with smart thermostats, but like so many other companies, once you dip a toe in the waters of smart home devices, it's difficult to resist the temptation to expand. Right now the company has two camera options in its lineup: the indoor SmartCamera and a wired Smart Doorbell Camera. In today's announcement, Ecobee only shares Home support for the Doorbell Camera. We've reached out to see if it has any plans to extend that to the indoor cam, as well. Just like with any other smart camera that has come into the favor of Google Home, you'll now be able to access your feeds with convenient voice commands. And if you've also got an Ecobee Smart Security subscription, you'll still be able to enjoy its benefits like package detection and its 30-day video history. Google doesn't maintain an exhaustive list of third-party cameras it supports in Home, but it feels like we've got to be getting close to the end of the stragglers, at least among major brands. Are you still waiting for Home support to come to some of your smart cameras? Let us know whose door we've got to go beating down in the comments below. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Ecobee's video doorbell now integrates with Google Home
Ecobee has announced an update to its Smart Doorbell Camera that finally adds integration with Google's Home app and smart displays. The company's video doorbell debuted with support for both Apple Home and Amazon Alexa when it launched in late 2023, but integration with Google's smart home ecosystem was promised as a future update arriving sometime in 2024. Although its Google integration arrives a year later, it adds to the unique functionality of Ecobee's smart doorbell which can use the company's smart thermostat as a video intercom. The update enables live video from Ecobee's doorbell camera to be viewed through the Google Home mobile app or smart displays like the Google Nest Hub and accessed using voice commands through Google Assistant. The app and devices can also be used to remotely speak to visitors through the smart doorbell's speaker, while alerts will be delivered to Google Home devices when the doorbell is pressed. The new functionality potentially makes Ecobee's $160 Smart Doorbell Camera a cheaper alternative to the $180 wired Nest Doorbell. But while Google's doorbell offers three hours of free event recording, Ecobee's doesn't include any recorded video gratis — either in the cloud or stored locally. You'll need to pay $5 per month or $50 per year to store motion-activated video clips in the cloud for 30 days.
