Good Product ..... BUT
Not the easiest to install .. call to the help desk quickly took care of that. The main complaint I have is there is no operator's manual available. None came with the unit and none is available to download. Frequently referred to the operator's manual on my previous thermostat when I needed to make a change and could always find the answer .... now will have stop and make a call. When before I could usually find the answer in the manual. I will mention this issue to anyone who might ask me about 'how I like my new thermostat'.

1 star because can't say 0
DO NOT GET THIS!! You will regret it. At least twice a week it resets and goes into calibration mode, during which it turns off locks out access to your heat and cool.

Awesome thermostat Review
I’ve had this thermostat for about a month and I really like it. He keeps the temperature right where we like it and helps us control the humidity in the house.

A great remote controlled and monitored thermostat
You can’t go wrong investing in this thermostat. Our power company provides a hefty rebate on purchase price. If you connect this to your internet WiFi, you can check on the temperature while on vacation. Ecobee provides energy report too! Great product

Simple and works like a cham
Great thermostat. I chose this one as I think some of the advance features are overkilling it. I am still trying to understand some of the menu items - it's not as user friendly as the Nest. Also I haven't been able to figure out how to change the language of the interface - it only displays in English,

Right Mix of Features and Settings
Call me old fashioned but I like simple and easy to operate thermostats. When looking for a wifi thermostat, I tried many finally ending with the Ecobee Essential. It is the perfect mix of simple operating features, easy to install and set up, and settings that allow additional control of the AC and Heat if needed. If you don't need all the extra features of the higher units, this is the perfect choice.

Works well.
I have a dead spot in my house where the thermostat is installed, so the HVAC was on for way more than it needed to be. I installed the Ecobee with one remote sensor that I placed in a bedroom. Then I set up my comfort settings so that the main thermostat wasn't considered. This allowed the remote sensor to control the HVAC, and it worked like a charm to keep the house at the temperature I want without over using the HVAC. These seem expensive, but when you think of the infrastructure that they are maintaining to allow phone apps/browsers to control the devices, it seems worth the few extra dollars.

Easy to use
I’ve had this product for a couple of weeks. Easy to use is basic mode. Although it allows you to program daily changes I prefer to change the temperature in real time. I prefer to do it using the iPhone app which works fine.
