FAQS

What’s in the box?

ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium, ecobee Smart Sensor, Backplate, Wire labels, Screws & drywall plays plugs, power extender kit (for sysytems without a c-wire), trim plate, and quick start guide

Does the eco bee work with a ac unit and a humidistats?

ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium, Smart Thermostat Enhanced1, Smart Thermostat with voice control, ecobee4, and ecobee3 support most common HVAC accessories such as humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and ventilators.

Is this new model backwards compatible with the old style sensors?

The old sensors will work in the ecobee app but will always show “No Response” in homekit. Can’t even remove them from homekit. Very annoying.

Will this work a heat pump?

Yes, and a humidifier

Does this have a fan only mode where the fan can be turned on without heating or cooling?

Yes

does it also play Pandora app? It plays the Spotify app…?

Yes it’s does!

Does this light up red like an evil angry ai when alexa is turned off?

The microphone is replaced by a red symbol when the microphone is turned off. Nothing is red if you don’t connect it to Alexa in the first place. The microphone is too good. From the next room over the Alexa on the thermostat responds even when I have an echo Within 3 feet of where I’m sitting.

Do it come with geofence?

you can set a geo fence

Will this thermostat work for a split system?

Yes it will work

Can u use to drop in to another echo device?

Yes sure!

Can the screen be locked, to prevent annoying non-residing family members from changing the temps of they’re too cold?

YeS, you can lock it with a security code.

Can you turn off the radar occupancy sensor?

If you look in the app you can turn off the follow me function. From my understanding it turns off the sensor.

is this available in white?

Yes only in white

Will it display in Celsius?

yes

Will this ecobee work with the wiring of my Honeywell T6 th6220wf2006?

Yes

Is there a delay in turning on the AC after lowering the thermostat?

Yes, always. Usually it’s let’s than fine 5 minutes, mostly if you have a heat pump system.

Is it better than ecobee 4?

If a higher resolution display, stainless steel frame, and an air quality monitor are important to you, then yes.

Does it come with a 4wire to 5-wire adaptor to “ create” the C wire for power to the thermostat?”

Yes.

Does this support both a humidifier and a dehumidifier?

Yes it can do both and also ventilation.

How is this version different from the ecobee 4?

It does accept drop in requests, but doesn’t permit you to make a drop in to other echos on your network. The work around is to just make an announcement, and have the person you’re wishing to speak with in the mansion drop in to your thermostat.

Selecting System Operation Mode

The System menu controls the basic operation of the different components in your HVAC system, including the heat/cool mode, fan operation, and the operation of accessories like humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and ventilators.

HVAC System

The HVAC System settings depend on the type of system you have. Depending on your system, one or more the following options are shown:

• Cool: Turn on the air conditioner when the current temperature rises above the set temperature.
• Heat: Turn on the heat when the current temperature drops below the set temperature.
• Auto: Activate the heating or cooling system as required to keep your home within the configured range of set temperatures.
• Aux: Only use the auxiliary or backup heat source to maintain the heat set point temperature. This option only appears if auxiliary heat is configured in the Equipment menu.
• Off: Turn the system off. When the system is off, only the current temperature will be displayed on the Home screen.

On Thermostat and Mobile:

Select Main Menu > System > HVAC System

On Web:

Select System tile > HVAC

Fan

The Fan menu displays the current furnace fan setting. Depending on your system, one or more of the following options are shown:

• On: Force fan to run continuously, regardless of the scheduled programming. The fan will also run if the System Mode is Off.
• Auto: Enable fan when the system is actively heating or cooling your home, or to satisfy the Minimum Fan Runtime setting (page 12).

On Thermostat and Mobile:

Select Main Menu > Quick Changes > Fan

On Web:

Select Fan tile

Minimum Fan Runtime (Auto mode only)

When the fan is in Auto mode, ecobee3 operates it according to the Minimum Fan Runtime setting. You can adjust this setting from 0 to 55 minutes.

When your system is in heat or cool mode, the fan will always run for this minimum amount of time. A longer runtime improves air circulation and results in a more consistent temperature than with the Auto setting while being more cost-effective than the On setting.

Your ecobee3 will meet this minimum runtime over the hour while making sure it never runs for less than five minutes.

On Thermostat and Mobile:

1. Select Main Menu > System > Fan
2. Swipe left or right to adjust the value.

On Web:

1. Select System Tile > Fan
2. Swipe or drag left or right to adjust the value.

Humidifier (if installed)

The Humidifier menu enables or disables the humidifier, if installed:

• On: Run the humidifier to increase the humidity to the configured set point.
• Off: Do not operate the humidifier.
• Frost control: Automatically maintain the humidity to stay comfortable but prevent condensation or frost on your windows

To adjust the humidity set point and other options, see page 14.

On Thermostat and Mobile:

Select Main Menu > System > Humidifier

On Web:

Select System tile > Humidifier

Dehumidifier (if installed)

The Dehumidifier menu enables or disables the dehumidifier, if installed:

• On: Run the dehumidifier to reduce the humidity to the configured set point.
• Off: Do not operate the dehumidifier.

To adjust the dehumidifier set point, see page 12.

On Thermostat and Mobile:

Select Main Menu > System > Dehumidifier

On Web:

Select System tile > Dehumidifier

Ventilator/HRV/ERV (if installed)

The Ventilator/HRV/ERV menu configures the operation of a ventilator, a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) or an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), if installed:

• Occupied minimum runtime: Configure how many minutes per hour the device will run during occupied periods, such as when you’re home or asleep.
• Unoccupied minimum runtime: Configure how many minutes per hour the device will run during unoccupied periods, such as when you’re away.

Ventilation devices are important to maintain indoor air quality and, depending on where you live, this might be regulated. The amount of indoor air required to maintain sufficient indoor air quality depends on how big your house is, how many people live there, and the capacity of your ventilation device. You should consult with a local contractor who can guide you on how often you should be running your ventilation device.

For devices configured as ventilators (i.e. not HRVs or ERVs) you can enable a feature called “free cooling” on your ecobee3. When the outdoor temperatures are cooler than indoors and your system is calling for cool, your ecobee3 will turn on your ventilator to bring in outdoor air instead of running your air conditioner. To configure free cooling options, see page 26.

On Thermostat and Mobile:

1. Select Main Menu > System > Ventilator/HRV/ERV
2. Adjust the Occupied Min Run Time and Unoccupied Min Run Time by selecting each option and swiping left or right to adjust the values.
3. If supported by your device, enable or disable Free Cooling.

On Web:

1. Select System tile > Ventilator/HRV/ERV
2. Adjust the Occupied Min Run Time and Unoccupied Min Run Time by selecting each option and swiping left or right to adjust the values.
3. If supported by your device, enable or disable Free Cooling.

Adjusting Sensor Modes

Your ecobee3 supports wireless remote sensors that detect motion and temperature in different rooms (one was included with your thermostat). Your ecobee3 also has a built-in motion sensor. With these sensors, you can optimize the operation of your thermostat to ensure comfort in the rooms and times that matter most.

For information about installing new sensors, see the ecobee Installation Guide, or the documentation included with the sensor itself.  

Smart Home/Away

Smart Home/Away applies all the sensors in your network – including the sensors built-in your thermostat. It works by following your schedule unless any sensor in your network is in conflict with your schedule. In other words, if your ecobee3 senses that you are home during a scheduled Away period, or away during a scheduled Home period, it will automatically override your schedule by placing you in Smart Home/Away mode to maximize comfort (Smart Home) and savings (Smart Away).

On Thermostat:

1. Select Main Menu > Sensors > Smart Home/Away
2. Touch Enable to have your sensor network and thermostat detect occupancy. To have your thermostat strictly follow your programmed schedule, touch Disable.

Follow Me

Follow Me is a feature that applies to a selected group of the sensors in your network (including the sensor built-in your thermostat). It works by looking for motion triggered by any of the selected sensors. If motion is detected, the temperature reading from that sensor will be used by your ecobee3 to decide when to operate your heating or cooling system. This ensures that you are comfortable in the rooms that you are occupying. If more than one sensor detects motion, the average of these sensors will be used. Your ecobee3 makes changes gradually when many sensors are detecting motion to make sure there are no sudden or large changes for your heating and cooling system to deal with.

When Follow Me is disabled, your ecobee3 will continuously use the average temperature readings from all the sensors that you’ve selected as the desired temperature to control your ecobee3. For example, suppose you have a room in your house that is far from your thermostat and you want this room to be at the thermostat’s set temperature, regardless if motion is occurring. In this case, set Follow Me to Disable and only select this room. Your ecobee3 will now only use the temperature in this room to decide when to operate your heating or cooling system.

On Thermostat:

1. Select Main Menu > Sensors > Follow Me
2. Enable or disable the Follow Me feature.
3. If enabled, select which sensors are affected by pressing on each checkbox.

Adjusting Comfort Settings

You can configure your ecobee3 to fit your schedule and comfort needs while maximizing your energy savings.

Your ecobee3 organizes your temperature and fan settings into different Comfort Settings. These settings are used in the Schedule, Smart Home and Quick Changes menus

By default, your ecobee3 includes three configurable Comfort Settings:

• Away: Settings for when you are not at home.
• Home: The normally settings for when you are at home and awake.
• Sleep: Settings for when you are sleeping.

Note: You can create new Comfort Settings (or remove them) from the Web Portal.

To delete a Comfort Setting:

1. Select Schedule tile.
2. Select the Comfort Setting you want to delete.
3. Select Delete.
4. Confirm by selecting Delete.

Setting Your Weekly Schedule

Your heating and cooling needs change depending on the time of day, day of the week, as well as when you are home or away. For example, if there’s no one in the house during the workday you might want to let the temperature go up in the summer, to reduce energy used by the air conditioning system, and down in the winter, to reduce heating energy.

The ecobee3 adapts to how your home and heating and cooling equipment perform. Intelligent algorithms combine weather data, your equipment run times and occupancy schedules to optimize performance and maximize energy savings. This means you can be comfortable when you are home and save money when you are not.

On Thermostat and Mobile:

1. Select Main Menu > Schedule
2. Touch the day of the week you want to adjust.
3. Select an existing scheduled activity to edit. You can also create a new activity by touching +.
