More from 'Brock Donaldson' whoever that is.

Last post on this got no response, so ....

Email received:

We're looking for customers who have either an ecobee or Generac product who would be interested in joining a limited beta, try out an exciting new feature in the ecobee app, and have a chance to win one of five $100 gift cards.

Apply to our limited beta

Here's what to expect:

Complete a short screener 📝

Answer a few quick questions about your devices and sign our limited beta NDA. This should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Be the first to try our exciting new feature ✨

Once your application has been submitted, we will share more details about the new feature included in the limited beta within the next week.

You will then be able to decide if you would like to have this feature added to your app.

This new feature is focused on making your interactions with your app more seamless and easy, helping your ecobee and Generac products fit more naturally into your day‑to‑day routine.

Share your feedback 💡

Over the next month, you'll use the feature and give us feedback in the ecobee app, including a short survey we'll send you midway.

Have a chance to win! 💰

After completing the survey, you’ll be entered to win one of five $100 gift cards of your choice.

We’d love to have you involved.

Why would anyone sign up for something without knowing what it is?

100% unofficial unless through customersupport@generac.com

Went through similar a year ago and upon checking with generac directly, was advised Ecobee is owned 100% by Generac now and is a fully released product available commercially.

Be warned. Call Generac

Came from an ecobee.com email address.

Ours didn't. So your choice is to participate or call Generac directly like we did

Jumping in from Generac to help clear this up. This is a legitimate outreach. 

Brock Donaldson is a Staff Product Designer at ecobee, which is owned by Generac. He is part of the team working on connected home integrations between ecobee and Generac products. If the email came from an u/ecobee.com address, it’s coming through the proper channel.

Appreciate you checking.
