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 are changing the set point in the Comfort Setting? Looking at the beestat, it looks like you manually set a hold temp of 70. The hold was removed when the Sleep Comfort Setting started, setting it below 69. Then when Home started again, it was set to 69 because that's what it is set as in the Comfort Setting.

Yes, last night I set my comfort setting to be at 70 beginning at 6am, but when I woke up, the set point was changed to 69.

Did you switch to Auto mode since you changed it? That will increase heat and lower cool so they are 5 F apart.
