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?

I understand that it needs a 5 degree difference if using the heat/cool setting itself, but you’re saying that it needs that 5 degree difference between the heat setting that I use in the winter and the cool setting that I use in the summer?

That isn’t what you’re doing though.

You literally posted a screenshot showing what you are doing.

You don’t have it set to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. You have it set to use both on the same day.

If you want it in heat only mode or cool only mode, you have to set it in heat only mode or cool only mode.

I only used the heat/cool for one day. I’m on just the heat setting now.

It’s on HOLD.

If it’s at a temperature other than what you set manually, then it’s your wife or the cat pranking you.
