The integration between Minut and ecobee allows you to automatically set your thermostat to save energy between bookings.
Sync your Minut properties with ecobee to save energy by automatically turning down and setting the temperature between bookings by controlling the Ecobee thermostat automatically between bookings.
Ecobee is currently only available in North America at this time.
The ecobee integration currently only supports connecting one ecobee thermostat to one Minut rental unit.

United States: $24 per thermostat per year
Canada: CA$30 per thermostat per year
How the integration with ecobee works:
Applies eco temperatures (15°C for Heat and 30°C for Cool) when the stay ends.
Choose the temperature and mode that the thermostat should be set to before the next stay starts. You can also customize how far in advance the changes take place.

Add your stays:
Be sure to add your bookings, either entering them manually or by integrating Minut with Airbnb or your property management system.

Save energy:
Your ecobee thermostat mode will be set to “Heat” mode (20°C/68°F) 3 hours before the next stay starts as default. You can edit the mode, temperature and time in Minut.
