Airthings View Plus vs Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium

As an air quality device the Airthings View Plus wins, leading on sensors, alerts and a longer warranty with seven pollutant sensors including radon and particulates. The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium earns a higher owner rating and broader integrations, and it does something the Airthings cannot: control your HVAC while sensing VOCs, CO2 and occupancy.

Role. The Airthings View Plus is a dedicated air quality monitor with seven sensors including radon and PM2.5. The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium is a smart thermostat that adds air-quality sensing (VOCs, CO2, occupancy) and acts on it by running your heating and cooling.

No. The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium senses VOCs, CO2, occupancy, temperature and humidity, but not radon or PM2.5. If you specifically need radon or particulate monitoring, the Airthings View Plus is the one that covers them.

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium integrates more widely, working with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT. The Airthings View Plus supports Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT, but not HomeKit or SmartThings.

Choose the Airthings View Plus if indoor air quality is the priority and you want radon, CO2, particulates and VOCs in one dedicated monitor with a 5-year warranty and remote Wi-Fi access.

Choose the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium if you want a premium thermostat that folds air monitoring into daily climate control: VOC, CO2 and occupancy sensing, a color touchscreen, wide platform support, and automations that ventilate or condition your home.
