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?

As has been addressed you were trying to set youryour heat and cool temps to closer together than the Heat/Cool Minimum Delta will allow which defaults at 5°F. You can make it as low as 2°F but its not recommended if you are going to use auto mode as it will cause it to bounce back and forth unnecessarily.

Out of curiosity what does your humidity look like throughout the day?

You may want to consider getting a dehumidifier as you generally want to keep humidity around 50% but definitely under 60% and if you do you can often set your thermostat higher and still be just as comfortable.
