I am getting an ecobee smart enhanced thermostat. I've read that this thermostat has local non-cloud wifi control using homekit. I want to interact with it with custom software.

Which of these features are supported?

• Reading room temp
• Reading setpoint
• Setting setpoint
• Reading mode (heat, cool, fan)
• Reading activity (e.g. is it putting out heat at the moment)
