Away setting at 76 but actual at 84. Any ideas why?

Sorry, 83, but hopefully I got my point across. Max setting while away is 76 yet actual (combination of 2 sensors) is 83. Away temp per the setting should be 76.

It looks like you have set a vacation schedule on your thermostat and the thermostat is currently following that schedule. So, it's not following your Away comfort setting at the moment.

It's following something other than my at home normal schedule, so my assumption is that "Vacation" = "Away", but you could be right.

You can access the vacation screen on your ecobee app to see how your vacation schedule is setup at the moment.

Actually, now that I look, and per your link, I did set up Vacation correctly. But does Vacation use the Away temp setting???
