Works with full table
Ecolink devices do not run on their own cloud app: each one pairs with a controller or alarm panel. Z-Wave and Zigbee versions join a hub such as SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant, Homey or Vera, and sub-GHz versions are built for specific security panels from Qolsys, Interlogix, DSC, Honeywell and 2GIG.
That suits people who already own a Z-Wave or Zigbee hub or an alarm panel and want inexpensive sensors. It is weaker if you want Matter, Wi-Fi or Thread devices, none of which we found on the pages we read, or a vendor app for controlling the sensors directly.

A Homey app published on the Homey store by Ecolink Intelligent Technology, Inc., marked Official. It lists Z-Wave and Zigbee door, flood, motion and smoke and CO sensors, all needing a Homey Bridge. We found no Ecolink-branded app for iPhone or Android on the pages we read, so no App Store or Google Play links are given.

| Z-Wave | Yes | Ecolink sells many Z-Wave Plus devices, and Z-Wave Alliance announced Ecolink as the first company to complete Z-Wave Long Range certification, with its 700 Series Garage Door Controller in March 2022. An Ecolink executive said new certified Z-Wave devices would include Long Range out of the box. | Z-Wave Alliance announcement Ecolink door/window sensor page Home Controls spotlight |
| Zigbee | Yes | Ecolink lists Zigbee versions of several devices, including a door/window sensor, a pet-immune motion sensor and a CO2 sensor (Zigbee 3.0 or higher). UEI describes its sensors as supporting Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave and sub-GHz. | UEI Home Automation catalogue UEI sensors page |
| Proprietary alarm-panel radios | Yes | Wireless security sensors come in three panel-specific frequencies: 319.5 MHz for Qolsys/GE and Interlogix, 433 MHz for DSC/Tyco and 345 MHz for Honeywell/2GIG. | UEI Home Automation catalogue Home Controls spotlight |
| Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread | Not mentioned | UEI's sensors page names Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave and sub-GHz and does not mention Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Matter or Thread. We found no Ecolink device using them. | UEI sensors page |
| Matter | Not found | No Matter product or announcement from Ecolink found. UEI's sensors page and catalogue do not mention it. | UEI sensors page UEI Home Automation catalogue |

| Amazon Alexa | Official | UEI's catalogue labels the Zigbee products as compatible with Samsung SmartThings and Alexa Echo Hub. We found no Alexa page for the Z-Wave versions. | UEI Home Automation catalogue Alexa Skills store |

| Samsung SmartThings | Official | Ecolink has a support article titled for connecting its products to SmartThings. It says products are designed to be interoperable with SmartThings hubs and supplies device handler code for full features on a flood and freeze sensor, siren and chime, motion sensor and FireFighter. Some links go to third-party GitHub repositories. A community channel by an independent developer offers an Edge driver for several Ecolink Z-Wave sensors. | Ecolink SmartThings article Community Edge driver channel UEI Home Automation catalogue |
| Alarm panels and Alarm.com | Unconfirmed | The UEI catalogue lists Alarm.com alongside SecureNet and Total Connect 2.0 in a compatibility block, but the block sits under an unnamed device, so the product it applies to is unclear. Separately, the catalogue and a retailer spotlight name Qolsys, Interlogix, DSC, 2GIG, Honeywell and GE panels for the sub-GHz sensors. | UEI Home Automation catalogue Home Controls spotlight |
| Vera and HomeSeer | Not mentioned | UEI's catalogue labels the Z-Wave Plus products as compatible with SmartThings, Vera and HomeSeer, and the retailer spotlight also names Ezlo. | UEI Home Automation catalogue Home Controls spotlight |

| Home Assistant | Yes | Home Assistant's Z-Wave integration controls a Z-Wave network through Z-Wave JS, needs a Z-Wave adapter, runs as Local Push and supports Long Range. Ecolink Z-Wave devices join as ordinary Z-Wave devices, and a third-party compatibility site lists Ecolink devices as working through Z-Wave JS. Ecolink does not maintain the integration, and the Home Assistant page we read does not name Ecolink. | Home Assistant Z-Wave Third-party compatibility listing |
| Homey | Official | Ecolink publishes an Official app on the Homey store. It covers Z-Wave and Zigbee door/window, flood, motion, smoke and CO, and temperature and humidity sensors, and every listed device requires a Homey Bridge. The listing shows Homey Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server but also shows a compatibility warning that the page does not explain. Version 1.0.4 was last updated about two years ago. | Ecolink for Homey |
| Hubitat | Yes | A support guide lists Ecolink Z-Wave sensors, switches, sirens and a FireFighter smoke and CO detector, and a Zigbee motion detector, as added through Hubitat's Z-Wave or Zigbee discovery pages. The guide does not say whether Hubitat ships built-in drivers, and Hubitat does not appear to maintain a dedicated Ecolink integration. We did not read Hubitat's own documentation. | Hubitat setup guide Hubitat compatible devices |
| openHAB | Unconfirmed | We did not find an Ecolink page for openHAB. Z-Wave devices may join through its Z-Wave binding, but we did not read it. | Searched, no source |
| Node-RED | Unconfirmed | No Ecolink node found. Node-RED would read devices through a hub such as Home Assistant, which we did not verify. | Searched, no source |
