At ecobee, we’re not just all about thermostats — we’re about energy solutions. That’s why we’ve manufactured our very own Smart Plugs, to give you another way to understand, manage, and reduce your energy use.

Did you know that by adding a ZigBee® module to your ecobee Smart Thermostat and purchasing an ecobee Smart Plug, you can monitor and manage your home appliances, lighting, electronics and more via your existing ecobee Web Portal?

Lights on, lights off.  Entertainment system on, entertainment system off.   All with the click of a button—from anywhere!

Want to get more out of your Smart Plug? Try connecting it to a power bar!

Using the Zigbee® HA profile (a wireless protocol that provides highly-efficient connectivity), the Smart Plug measures the exact amount of energy consumed by the appliance or device that’s plugged into it on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. It will even show you how much it’s costing you to run that appliance or device.

Install it yourself — it’s easy!

Installing your Smart Plugs couldn’t be simpler. Just add the Zigbee® module to your Smart Thermostat, plug it into your wall outlet, follow the simple configuration then plug in your device or appliance.  Note that only one Zigbee® Module is required per thermostat and can be connected to an unlimited number of Smart Plugs within range.

Keep Your Software Current

In order to use your Smart Plug you will need to be running the latest ecobee software version 2.4.0.339. This update should happen automatically if you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, but if for some reason you are running an earlier version you may need to contact support@ecobee.com  to upgrade.
