Our first look at the Ecobee smart camera with voice control last year, then we got a real picture in July. Now, an FCC list for the device has confirmed that HomeKit should come with assistance.

Discovered by Zatz It's not funny!, an image has appeared in the FCC database showing an unseen Ecobee product number with a QR code HomeKit configuration, which appears to be the company's smart camera.

Earlier I had ideas that the Ecobee smart camera will include integrated voice control, probably through Alexa such as SmartThermostat (revised). However, I have not had any confirmation to date if HomeKit functionality would be delivered, so this FCC listing is a great point of view for HomeKit fans.

However, one question is whether we will also see the HomeKit secure video support field with this camera.

Here's what I found out about the Ecobee smartphone:

It sports a black design with a silver conical base. The top of the camera has four LEDs, which Zatz notes to indicate the status of the camera's microphone, similar to the Ecobee Switch +.

As it turned out, the first time I saw the Ecobee camera in a real photo from the side, I found that it's not as rash as you might guess from the first image I saw. Here are both ...

But it certainly comes with Ecobee's design theme for thermostats and other smart home products. Dave Zatz thinks it shouldn't be too long before we hear about Ecobee's pricing and launch details.
