I just got an E-Mail this morning from Ecobee stating that they are beginning to roll out the 4.2.0.171 firmware update to include Echo Spatial Perception. I know some of us have been wanting this for a while…tired of my bedroom responding when I am talking to my thermostat.
"Your feedback is always important to us, and when you ask for something, we listen. Today, we’re excited to announce that “ESP” (Echo Spatial Perception) now works with your ecobee4!
This comes in handy when you have more than one Alexa device in your home. With ESP, only the Alexa device closest to you will respond to your command.
Now when you say “Alexa” to your ecobee4, Amazon Echo or Amazon Dot, only the device you’re closest to will respond. With this latest firmware update, ecobee4 will play well with others and gives you the best experience in whole-home voice control."
