2026 verdict
If your priority is one wall device that runs the heating and also watches CO2 and TVOC, the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium is the pick of this air quality pairing.
It works with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings and Home Assistant over dual-band Wi-Fi, adds occupancy sensing and a 4 inch colour touchscreen, and carries a 3-year warranty. The Aranet Radon Plus answers a question the Ecobee cannot: it is a radon monitor, tracking radon with temperature, humidity and pressure on an E-Ink screen, running for a rated 7 years on two AA batteries. It is Bluetooth only and reaches a smart home through Home Assistant alone. Choose the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium to replace a thermostat and get a read on stale air, and the Aranet Radon Plus when radon in a basement or ground floor is what you need to measure.

What the differences mean
What each one measures
The Aranet Radon Plus measures radon, which the thermostat does not track at all. The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium measures CO2 and TVOC instead, plus occupancy. Neither senses particulates, so they answer two different questions about the air in your home.
Power and placement
The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium is hardwired where your thermostat goes. The Aranet Radon Plus runs on two AA batteries rated for 7 years and weighs 220 g, so it can sit in the basement, the lowest living floor or wherever radon is a concern.
Connectivity and platforms
The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium joins 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi and works with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Aranet Radon Plus is Bluetooth only, with Home Assistant as its single smart home route, so remote access needs a Home Assistant setup.
Screen
The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium has a 4 inch colour touchscreen for controlling the heating. The Aranet Radon Plus uses a small E-Ink display that shows readings at a glance and helps the batteries last for years.
Warranty
The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium carries a 3-year warranty against 2 years for the Aranet Radon Plus.
Which one to buy if
- you are worried about radon in a basement or on the ground floor
The Aranet Radon Plus measures radon and the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium does not.
- you are replacing an old thermostat anyway
The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium runs the heating and cooling and adds CO2, TVOC and occupancy sensing on the same wall.
- your home runs on Apple Home, Alexa or Google Home
The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium works with all three, while the Aranet Radon Plus only reaches Home Assistant.
- there is no outlet or wiring where you need to measure
Two AA batteries rated for 7 years let the Aranet Radon Plus sit anywhere.

What owners say
Aranet Radon Plus owners lead with speed and accuracy: readings refresh every 10 minutes, and several report that its numbers match the mail-in lab tests they ran alongside it. They like the E-Ink display for being easy on the eyes and on the batteries, the option of using their own rechargeables, and an app that color-codes radon so they can watch levels respond to opening windows or a mitigation system. Home Assistant users single out custom charts and high-radon notifications. The complaints are consistent: it costs more than rival radon monitors, the Bluetooth range is short enough that a basement unit can drop its connection, and there is no cloud sync, so the history lives on the phone that syncs it. Owners also note it needs some time to settle into a good averaged reading.
