ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential

Very convenient grateful for being introduced to this unit by my utility provider.

It’s a good product but looks like configuration is somewhat complicat

Easy to install and pair with Wifi. We don't use the 'smart' part, just need it to be steady (on hold). Love to be able to get data and change settings remotely on rare occasion.

I am very happy with the performance of the Ecobee Essential. Installation was fairly easy but owing to my house only having a 3 wire thermostat I did have to add a separate fan switch on the furnace in order to repurpose the old fan wire as a "C" wire.

Much better than the Nest. The app is very user friendly

Cannot give a true honest opinion as I have just installed at the start of heating season. Pro`s Easy to install and program, Attractive looking Cons Trim plate should be included with the unit as all retrofits would require it. Power Extender kit should be available for purchase in store.

I had my eco bee essential thermostat for about a month and I love it I had the nest 3rd generation thermostat and I’m so happy I got it rid of it and got the eco bee essential thermostat only positive is the nest and eco bee have the same exact wireing set up so that’s so easy and helpful

Easy setup and install. Easy to use, works great. Choices were Honeywell, Nest, Wyze, Amazon unit.

I worked in the HVAC industrie for 28 years and i've seen owned and tested numerous thermostats. This Ecobee has been on my wall for over 8 years and i never had any issues with it. This to me is a marvel of technologie and so far has no match on the market. Even my hydro bill went down year after year since i installed it. One thing i admit, it is a little complicated to set and understand especialy the scheduling part but with time and patience, you will master this device like a pro. Note that it rarely happens but it could freeze or have a strange behavior, just take it off it's wall support for 10 seconds put it back and it should come back to normal. Overall, this is one great device that can even play music or talk we you. What else could you want.

I love it. I should’ve got this thing last March of 2025 when I first came out

Everything is so easy and my house feels great and is nice and cool.

Very happy with the product. I am able to control the system remotely from my phone. Installation was straightforward even with having to install the power extender.

Received and installed the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential 3 weeks ago. Easy to install, setup, and program. I did need to also purchase an Ecobee trim plate as the new thermostat was smaller than the Honeywell thermostat it replaced. That worked perfectly. So far, the Ecobee thermostat is working very well. Much easier to read than my old thermostat. I had to wear reading glasses to read our old one.

I’ve had the product for 4 months. When power goes out temporarily, the unit does not reboot. Removing the thermostat from the backing plate and reinstalling reboots the unit sometimes. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times before the unit begins to reboot.

Been using the ecobee premium and economy for about a month now. They seem to be very reliable and easy to use. The set up was quick and easy, although it took a bit to get the right schedule and of course it is still in the learning mode, trying to figure out our habits. Works for a dual zone system without any issues which is great cannot speak to the energy savings at this point in time as we’ve not received a utility bill, but hopefully we will see some. As well using the app to change the temperature or turn on or off the AC/heat is very quick and easy

Ecobee Thermostat is an exceedingly well-thought-out user-friendly thermostat. Self-install was simple: the app guided the self-install and set-up process step by step from removal of the old thermostat, ensuring we had the right wiring and parts, instructions on how to obtain additional parts and work-arounds if we needed them, to wiring, right-sized drill bits, and finally wifi-connection. The app itself is intuitive and simple while accomplishing everything it needs to to control the thermostat. We opted to get additional remote sensors as our thermostat is in a dead air zone, and connecting and controlling those was trivially easy. As for the accuracy of the thermostat and the remote sensors, they line up with my other temperature sensors in the house, so I have no complaint. The thermostat is working well, keeping the house cool. Finally, I really appreciate that this thermostat is a simple buy and go, and not a subscription service like so many other 'smart' integrations these days. It doesn't need to be compatible with my 'smart house'. I don't have a 'smart house'. I got this thermostat because I needed a thermostat with the ability to do remote sensing because of the afore mentioned dead air problem in the location of the thermostat. I want it to be a little smart to use remote temperature sensing, and it does that remarkably well to keep the temperature of the house based on the average temperature of the rooms. But this thermostat is a thermostat, not an integrated subscription service.

Yes, I've had this product for about 4 weeks and am very happy because it was very easy to set-up

I'm satisfied with the thermostat. It seems very efficient so far.

Google was a great help in setting up my heat pump hvac wiring when on line instructions said to call support. Support never returned my call. But google made it easy.

I have had this thermostat for a few weeks and it has proven to be very efficient. The set up was easy and quick.
