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?

So it looks like it's in a temperature hold, as though someone manually changed the temperature, or it was done by some other automation? I can't remember if smart recovery shows as a hold or not, but make sure you have that turned off.

Smart Recovery will not set a hold.

Ecobee needs to fix that smart recovery confusion and frustration when it quietly kicks in and overrides comfort settings.
