Does the ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The Smart Thermostat Premium is ecobee's top model, but it is not Matter-certified.

It has radar occupancy sensing, an air quality monitor, a built-in speaker with Alexa or Siri, and a SmartSensor in the box. It works with HomeKit, Alexa and Google. It suits HomeKit and Home Assistant users, with native support through local Wi-Fi control. Alexa users get native support through the maker's cloud. Google Home and SmartThings users reach it through an integration (the maker's cloud).
