When comparing entry-level models like the Ecobee3 Lite (or Pro-exclusive Lite) and the newer Ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential, the Essential model is generally considered better for modern smart home integration due to its updated hardware, native support for broader smart home ecosystems, and smaller, sleek profile. However, the Essential model relies on separate remote room sensors if you want multi-room occupancy tracking, whereas both offer exceptional energy-saving app features, full color touchscreens, and robust scheduling capabilities.
