    Ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential

    I bought this product because my thermostat was located in direct sunlight, causing false temperature for the rest of the house. I installed with a sensor in my living room. Installation and instructions were clear and simple to follow.

    Don't do it

    Smart thermostats are a waste of time and energy. For minimal benefit (savings is nonsense), you get to control it with your phone. That's about it. In return, you'll restart it monthly (I have 2) for no reason, it will randomly disconnect from your wi-fi, your sensors will loose connections, again randomly, and their batteries will need to be changed 3-4 times a year. The old cheep manual thermostats work perfect, set 'em and walk away. Smart thermostats are a reminder of a bad decision I'm stuck with.

    All the low level settings I wanted

    This thermostat has a very rich set of options in its installation menu. The ones I used were: Temperature on/off threshold Minimum run time Extended fan run time after furnace/AC shuts off It also lets you set as many schedules as you want in a given day as long as they are 30 minutes long. It does a great job of allowing you to decide if you want to use the automatic features or disable them and set it up the way you want.

    Looks great, works great

    We’ve had our Ecobee for 3 weeks and couldn’t be happier with it. It looks sleek and modern, has tons of features, and most importantly has lowered our heating costs.

    Awesome thermostat!

    Does a great job meeting all our needs. We have it at our second home/cottage, and set up its temperature alerts. It saved us one winter when it alerted us about low temperatures in the house, and we were able to get the faulty furnace repaired before any plumbing pipes got frozen and ruptured. Easy voice control with Alexa. The phone app is great and lets us warm the cottage up in the winter or cool it down in the summer before we get there.

    It is caveman easy

    We have four ECOBEE thermostats to handle our various zones that we have to deal with and couldn’t be happier with the ease of use, both manually as well as the ease of use remotely from our phones. We greatly prefer the ECOBEE simplicity to NESTs that we had which were too caught up in being super efficient frankly at the expense of our comfort

    It does the job, but not the best of the Ecobee

    I've had the product a month now. I installed it myself and the installation instructions in the app were great. I have the Smart Thermostat Enhanced in a different house and thought this would be a good choice. While it does what it is supposed to do, the smaller screen makes it harder to make changes. Things that on on the main screen in my Enhanced are on a secondary screen in the Essential and harder to find. Also I find the the Essential lets the temperature vary much more than the Enhanced does. It does give me the remote access that I really wanted.

    Great Thermostat – Easy Install, Clear Instruction

    Great Thermostat – Easy Install, Clear Instructions I’m very impressed with this Ecobee thermostat. Installation was straightforward and well thought out, even for someone doing it themselves. The instructions were clear, logical, and easy to follow step by step, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Once installed, it worked exactly as expected right out of the box. Solid design, intuitive setup, and excellent guidance throughout. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a smart thermostat that’s simple to install and use.
