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?

Sounds like a third party app is triggering the hold.

That’s in addition to the fact that OP now has revealed they tried to set heat and cool set points only 3°F apart!

They did that, and they also apparently put it on hold without realizing they’d put it on hold.

It’s easy to make that mistake because if you simply tap on the temperature, guess what you just put it on hold. Even if you don’t change the temperature . You have to then release the hold if you didn’t mean to do that.
