ecobee3 Lite Smart Thermostat with Whole Home Sensors Bundle

Love it. Works as advertised. Its in a second home that's 1000 miles away and its been 100% reliable - via the app I can always see the temperature and what equipment is running. I've purchased additional remote temperature sensors and they just work - no issues with anything.Installation was easy.I've got Honeywell T10's in my other house, and I'm thinking about replacing them...

Love the ecobee! I recently upgraded to a zoned HVAC system and wanted smart thermostats for all of the zones as they have a lot of hot and cold spots. The remote sensors are super great to monitor the temp and humidity throughout the house. Being able to use Siri to control my thermostats from anywhere in the world is awesome. The ease of use is superb and their app is decent.

Perfect for us. Installed 4 in our house. It was super easy. It alerted me to a wire in the wrong spot on the first one. Connection to the internet was a snap. We had a Honeywell in our last house and it did not have a heat/cool function and this has a setting. Also comes with a wall plate.

I got this to replace a nest thermostat that went out. This works great and I like the sensor. I have one room that stays warmer than the rest of the house. I put the sensor in that room and the temperature is much better, your unit will run longer but the room will be cooler or warmer in the winter.

While I have both Nest at home and Ecobee at my cabin, I prefer Ecobee because the user has many configuration options while Nest does not. Regarding Ecobee, be aware that if your gas company is Dominion Energy, you must purchase the full version Ecobee (with voice control and other features) to receive a $50 rebate. Not sure if other gas companies have the same requirements, but you would be well advised to check Gas and Power rebates in your area.

I have one for my office and one for my home. #1 THEY SPAM YOU IN THE APP. I spoke with their support and you can't disable those spam/sales prompts. #2 On hot days you CONSTANTLY see “WARNING” instead of your temperatures of your AC system can’t cool ENOUGH prevent it from telling you that WARNING YOUR COOLING SYSTEM ISNT WORKING PROPERLY! You must CONSTANTLY CLEAR THOSE because if you don’t, they'll sit there forever and you won’t see the temperature. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

I purchased this after a recommendation from a family member. Our bedroom always ended up to hot to sleep because the thermostat in the hallway did not turn the AC on. After installing this thermostat and programming it to use the sensor in the bedroom at night, our problem was solved. It comes with app support, though I do not use that much. Once programmed, It just works! Great concept and product!

One of the sensors did not register immediately out of the box

I understand that this company has been around for a long time, and from the reviews I have read I expected a great experience, however it has been anything but that. Besides the fact that it inexplicably has two home screens (!) where you can do some things on one but not the other, possibly the most glaring defect is that you are supposed to be able to use a combination of sensors. So you can setup these things called "comfort settings" where you can specify which sensors to use as the target. eg. To cool/heat according to the temp upstairs/downstairs/wherever. The major defect is that the system completely ignores all of this and just uses the average temp of both sensors. So for example, when I try to set the system to cool the lower floor only, it just keeps the cooling running because it insists on trying to cool both floors, so the lower floor becomes freezing, way below the desired temp, because it's trying to cool the top floor also. Even worse, I have zones, so the air isn't even reaching the top floor. For a supposedly mature system, this is a complete joke. I think the software/firmware is still in beta. Unless the helpdesk can sort this out, I'll be sending this back and installing a Nest instead, and I would recommend you do the same.There are a number of other little defects, but this is the biggest one by far.
