Aranet Radon Plus vs Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium

Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium wins the overall comparison with its Wi-Fi connectivity, 3-year warranty, six-platform support, five-sensor suite and HVAC control. Aranet Radon Plus holds the higher owner rating and remains the only one of the two that can measure radon.

What they watch. The Aranet Radon Plus is a dedicated radon instrument with temperature, humidity and pressure as context. The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium monitors VOCs, CO2, occupancy, temperature and humidity while managing your heating and cooling. Radon belongs exclusively to the Aranet; HVAC control exclusively to the Ecobee.

The Aranet Radon Plus runs around 7 years on two AA batteries and can sit wherever radon collects, typically a basement. The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium is hardwired at your thermostat location, which is rarely where radon concentrates.

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium by far, supporting Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT over Wi-Fi. The Aranet Radon Plus integrates only with Home Assistant, over Bluetooth, with no cloud service.

Choose Aranet Radon Plus if radon is a real or suspected issue in your home: it is one of the best-rated monitors available, its readings track mail-in lab tests, and its e-ink display and multi-year battery make it effortless to live with.

Choose Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium if you want comfort control and general air quality awareness in one wall unit: VOCs, CO2 and occupancy monitoring, temperature and air quality alerts, a premium touchscreen and compatibility with every major platform.
