I needed the Root Device to be selected for Voice, not the independent Fan Mode, Cooling Setpoint, Heating Setpoint and Mode Devices. I removed the Voice tick as well as the Voice Command entries for those devices and added the tick and command name "Thermostat" to my Thermostat Root Device and things are starting to work there.
I cannot seem to get the "Fan Mode" to change from Auto to On or vice-versa though.
Ironically, Lock control doesn't appear to be the same. Setting up the Root Device for my Z-Wave locks did not have the same effect as the Thermostat.

This v3 api enable the color change from voice.
wiill it be possible to change the color on the go with voice( i mean echo of course) with HS3 soon ? Let say with a z wrgb bulb?
Cuz ...i do not see myselft creating 300 events to change the color of a light bulb haha... ( it would be possible to manage the number of events... this with JonOo alexa helper... but that's not an optimal solution)
we need a wrgb plugin :P

I'll share my experience but it may not be useful for you. I have more than one ecobee 3 in the house on different zones, and the ecobee skill is also enabled even though the ecobee are also discovered via the HS skill.
When I ask "what is the temperature inside in the Sitting Room" I get back...
"The Sitting Room temperature is 72 degrees."
I'm not sure if it queried the ecobee skill device or the HS skill device.

You should be good on your side. I figured out part of the issue. I have some special values I add to my devices to determine if they have been dimmed via automation vs at the switch that appear to confuse v3 due to multiple dim assignments. I asked Wade to look into this. If I remove those values, the lights dim as expected but my event logic breaks due to them being removed.

That said, some of the request values are not translating properly. For example, if I ask Alexa to set the dim level to 20, HS will set the dim to 21. Wade is looking in to that and believes there is just a scaling issue with maybe a rounded value causing the verbal request to translate to a value off by one or so.
