Good ol' #ecobee is having a major outage right now meaning that in my home using my iPhone on the same wifi network as the thermostat, it can't see it or control it. Why? Because ecobee made the design decision to enshittify their product and require a cloud connection. It would be trivial to have the thermostat and iPhone communicate locally, but they don't really care about their customers.

Edit: And it's baaack. https://status.ecobee.com/

every other month I have to throw my 30 amp heat pump breaker because it powers my #ecobee "smart" thermostat. there is no way to reboot the device otherwise. rebooting the device is the only way to get it to resync with my #homeassistant. #internetofshit

edit: I appreciate the responses but I'm not looking for a solution that doesn't involve fixing the ecobee or replacing it. Best as I can tell it's caused by wifi going down and ecobee not liking it. A chance it's caused by HA not seeing the thermostat when it's back on wifi.
