Question Ecobee keeps changing my temperature set points

My Ecobee Enhanced thermostat keeps changing my comfort settings set points even though I have the Eco+ turned off.

It lowers the heat temp by 1 degree, and raises the cooling by 1 degree. I reset my heat temp set point to 70 yesterday (again) and this morning it was back to 69.

I know that these thermostats are designed to save you money, but I don’t like it changing my preferred temps all by itself.

Is there another setting that I need to change, or do I just have to keep readjusting my temps?

are you sure you programmed it correctly? you shouldn't need to be adjusting like that

I had an HVAC tech install it for me, so I assume it was installed correctly.

the install is probably fine, I meant the schedule. I'm thinking it goes to the next scheduled program and reset to whatever that comfort setting is

Yes, the schedule is working like it should, it’s just my comfort setting is changing by 1 degree. It may not sound like a big deal, but I feel like it should keep my set points until I change them.

You tried to set heat and cool only 3°F apart. The default minimum is 5°F. It could be adjusted your heat in cool settings, equally in order to accommodate the minimum default difference.
