Ecobee accessory - Humidifier vs Air exchanger
b) you need some better 3rd party ecobee integration toolkit than what Ecobee provides native to your smart home automation. For example, in smartthings they call it a device handler. I downloaded a custom device handler for ecobee from a gitlab project called SanDOOD\Ecobee-suite (https://github.com/SANdood/Ecobee-Suite)

Feature request: fan / blower intelligence
If you happen to have SmartThings or Hubitat, then Ecobee Suite Manager could help. https://github.com/SANdood/Ecobee-Suite

Wire-free Home Automation - Ecosystems & Advice for Prime Day?
In the midst of all the incoming recommendations for Home Assistant (which are all very valid!), I'm going to say Hubitat for one reason: Universal Ecobee Suite

Rule Tools
Have you found the Hubitat Package Manager yet? Event Engine is just one of a plethora of custom apps from bptworld I found while browsing the list of apps that have support for Package Manager. It will not only install/remove apps/drivers for you, but it will also notify/install updates. I was so pleased when I discovered the Universal Ecobee Suite was also supported by HPM. I did not relish the idea of having to manually track each of the child processes and manually update the app and driver code whenever there were new versions.

Debating on what hub to move to
Example time! I have a sunroom that is heated with a free-standing gas stove/fireplace. With the Universal Ecobee Suite, I was able to use the temp reading of a door sensor to turn the stove off/on based on room temperature as compared to the target temperature set on the ecobee. What I could never get to tie in with ST was the several wall mounted convection heaters that "help" some rooms at the periphery of the house. They are plugged into zigbee smart outlets and I wanted them to only be powered if the ecobee mode was set to 'heat'. I could not figure out how to get this working with ST. It took me about 15 minutes to get it done in HE. And then when I installed a heated floor in my basement office I was also able to tie thermostat there into the same automation so its target temp follows the rest of the house as well. I also consider HE's "interface impairment" a personal non issue because I'm the only one that has to deal with it. I like my automation as unobtrusive as possible, the rest of my fam wants physical butons/switches/voice control. They don't want touch screens everywhere with status readouts and such.

Hubitat Rocks, Home Assistant does Not Rock! :)
Most notably, (and as a recommendation to u/waffles-n-gravy), the Universal Ecobee Suite so so far superior to the stock offering. With it, and my Hubitat, I've got a gas stove heated sunroom, a radiant floor heated basement room, and around 6 convection wall heaters all tied into my ecobee 3's status/mode/setpoint.

Consolidating 6 thermostats (2 different systems) into 1
I use Hubitat (and the wonderful Universal Ecobee Suite) to tie it all the Ecobee's temperature setpoint and operating mode. I've also designated a couple contact sensors on doors to shut the whole system off if left open for too long (we periodically air out the house during the winter months, and it's so nice not to have to run all over the house turning things off, and then forgetting to turn something back on.

I am lost in this Home Automation World
Why didn't I go back to HA when I got fed up with ST? Partially, the rPi I had used for HA was running my 3d printer, but mainly because I really fell in love with the Universal Ecobee Suite on ST and I knew it was also available on Hubitat. With UES, and Hubitat, I've managed to tie 3 different supplemental heating systems to the Ecobee's operating mode and temperature setpoint. I know I could do all this with HA, but we're back to the time availability issue. Hubitat was the exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it.

I have 5 thermostats in my house what can I do?
The Universal Ecobee Suite (for either Hubitat or SmartThings) is amazing for this sort of thing, and I know there are Honeywell thermostat drivers available for Hubitat. I would guess SmartThings has something similar available. The UES/Hubitat combo has allowed me to tie 3 different supplemental heating systems into my ecobee's target temperature, operating mode, and current state.

Waiting for my Hubitat..
Once you get initially set up and get your mode manager, and rule machine, and other built-in apps set up and working, I highly recommend your the first custom app (custom app install how to guide is here, and) you install should be the Hubitat Package Manager (the raw code for HPM is here). Many many other custom apps and drivers have added support for this single stop point/click interface for installing them (and even better, keeping them updated!).

Hubitat Rocks, Home Assistant does Not Rock! :)
I also recommend installing the Hubitat Package Manager, as it greatly simplifies the installation/updating of custom apps/drivers that support it (and MANY do, including the Ecobee Suite, which is good, because it's kind involved to install/update otherwise).

Hubitat setup tutorial?
The first custom app I would recommend installing is "Hubitat Package Manager" as it makes installing most anything else you might need very easy. It will entail going into your apps code page clicking 'new app' in the upper right hand corner and pasting in code you can get from the github page. You want the ".groovy" file. It's plain text, but is a lot of text, and you just want to select all of it, copy it, and paste it into the blank 'new app' screen and save it. There's a better explanation in the Hubitat documentation for adding apps, I'm sure.

Transition From Wink A Lot Less Painless Than I
If you have an ecobee thermostat, skip the built in integration and install Ecobee Suite (it supports HPM, so installation/maintenance is a breeze). I recommend this for SmartThings/Ecobee owners as well.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Ecobee-Suite and hubitat-packagemanager you can also consider the following projects:
