Remote EcoBee Reboot
Is it possible to remotely reboot an EcoBee using the API or by any other means?

> using the API
I'm pretty sure not.
> any other means
This may not be suitable and is not advice, but just a question: If a properly licensed and certified person put a remotely controllable normally closed relay inline with the "C" wire, one could cause the thermostat to lose power, and then toggle the relay some seconds later to restart it. There could be a suitable Z-Wave relay on the market, for example.
But why would you want to do that? -
Thanks for the response. That is a clever idea using a remote controlled relay.
I'm asking if it's possible to fulfill a list of questions prospective clients have regarding these devices and their capabilities.
Although I personally haven't had issues with the EcoBee requiring a hard reboot, adding the ability to do a soft reset via the API may be useful for troubleshooting remote installations.
