Does the ecobee SmartSensor work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The SmartSensor reports temperature and occupancy to an ecobee thermostat, so the thermostat can heat or cool the rooms in use.

It is a battery-powered room sensor. It suits Google Home and Home Assistant users through an integration (the maker's hub).
