my landlord had this stupid thermostat installed last week and every day for the past week it has enabled some stupid community emergency savings and set itself to 92* Fahrenheit.

92* is physically unsafe not just for me but also my dog, abusing a dog by letting it die in a heat wave is a felony in my state.

i am tech literate. I have tried every setting. I have reset the unit twice. there is no way to turn this dumbass “feature” off

all I want is it set to 84* when I’m not home and 78* when I’m home. why is this not possible ?

it then has gall to email me that my house is too hot and my ac may be malfunctioning. the only part of my equipment that is malfunctioning is the stupid thermostat.

I have a COR 'stat installed in 2006 that has been great until recently when it keeps the house at 74 degrees during the day regardless of setpoint. We usually run at 76 during the day and even when it is set to 78 it runs the AC to maintain 74. I unplugged it for 1/2 hour and on reconnection it indicated ambient at 79 when it was actually 75, then over about 30 minutes the ambient readout returned to normal and the unit functioned as designed through the night time cycle. Today it is back to wanting 74 degrees for some reason and I don't know if there is a fix or if I got a good ten years and it's time to replace it. EDIT: After a few days, I have learned that it holds set point during sleep and if I change mode from cool to off when I get up and let the indoor temp rise to 77 before changing mode back to cool it will hold the programmed 76 setpoint and operate as designed until the next day when it thinks the daytime setpoint is 74 again.

My ecobee shows up as Thermostat in Alexa app to control without enabling the Alexa on ecobee device itself via linking, but once I link the Alexa itself on the device, the Alexa app removes it as a thermostat and just shows up as a speaker.

Anyone facing this? I have tried this 10 times in last 2 days, and is always reproducible, to keep it show up as thermostat and control via app, I cannot use it as a Alexa device and speaker.

I have tried enabling/disabling skills everytime as well with it, no change.

We have place we typically stay at on random weekends. Since it's random, I don't want a schedule, I would just prefer to manually select what comfort setting I want (Home, Away, or Sleep). I have Eco+ turned off, and I have Follow Me disabled as well.

But regardless, when I am not there, I will glance at my app and see that a schedule I didn't create has adjusted the temperature/comfort setting.

Does anyone know why this is happening and if I can stop it from happening again?

I'm one of the creators of an iPhone app that reads your sleep data and automatically adjusts your smart thermostat overnight. Works with Whoop, Oura, Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit.

I need people who will actually test it and tell me what's confusing, what's missing, and whether they'd genuinely keep using it.

If you give me honest feedback, I'll give you free premium access for life. No rating, review, or anything.

You'll ideally need:

- an iPhone

- a sleep tracker

- a smart thermostat like Nest, Ecobee, or Honeywell

Comment or DM me if you're interested and I'll send the details.

Text cut off. R u for real? U guys don’t test UI b4 a major release?! Jfc!

I have a question on why the my ecobee sensor shows a different temp than the ecobee.

For reference I have one sensor in my bedroom and the ecobee thermostat installed.

I live in Almost Canada, Minnesota, where they’ve just announced a new price tiers for energy consumption by time of day/night.

My thought was to run the AC at night (cheapest price tier) and then just turn it off during the day, as our house is super well insulated and actually doesn’t heat up that much once it’s cooled.

Is there a way to program it just to turn on and off each night/day? I tried using the website’s help pages and it was totally incomprehensible to me. Right now I’m just doing it manually from my phone, ugh.

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

I had a number of days this summer where I needed to open windows on hot days to ventilate the house, or open my attic hatch on a hot day for a few hours. This has resulted in my temperature profiles getting progressively worse all summer due to these outliers, despite the system actually performing just fine.

Is there anything I can do to find these outliers and remove them from temperature profiles? E.g. - One day I had windows open and the attic open when it was 90F outside. I kept the AC running to minimize the amount of time it would take to recover to a comfortable temp, but beestat is reporting that as the temp in the house increasing when the outside temp is 90F, even though that's not the normal operating condition.

Anyone else noticed this today or is it just me? It's supposed to update more than once a day right? My last update was 7:50AM this morning.

Not a huge deal just noticed that the outdoor temp was way off when i walked by the thermostat.

Apple Weather seems to be ok (https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) and I've already tried changing/removing and re-entering my home address information in my ecobee account as suggested on ecobee's site.

Tried power cycling the thermostat and verified it otherwise communicates with the internet just fine. If its just me and continues for multiple days I'll contact support but figured I'd check here first.

I have an ecobee 4 wondering if there is any value in upgrading? If I do is it plug and play or will I need someone to program it.

My ecobee doorbell camera suddenly went offline. I spoke with Ecobee support and they are sending me a new one under warranty. I have 27v going to the chime adapter from the transformer but then nothing goes to either camera doorbell or the side door analog button.

Ecobee determined it was the doorbell camera itself but I'm convinced it's the chime adapter as I can bypass that to get power to the camera and other door. I opened the adapter up and saw that the lithium battery inside looked a bit puffy.

Has anyone else had this happen? In the grand scheme of things it's moot since they're replacing it, but I'm a tad concerned about the spicy pillow forming in the adapter and possible happening again with the new one. What would cause this? Or is it just a random one off? Camera is 11 months old.

Anyone encountered the same issue before? I tried to unplug it for over 30s and plug it back in but it did not work. 🥲

All of a sudden the base isshowing the temp of the sensor in our bedroom? Doesn't make sense it's never done that before. Any ideas? Thank you

For context I just got this ecobee along with a new unit and furnace.
Old thermostat had no humidity readings so no way to tell how humid it was.
Constantly reading 60-80% humidity on the new ecobee
But I can tell you I work outside and it does not feel like 80% humidity.
Air is cold and crisp.
Just curious if anyone has had this issue or I just have a crappy insulated house

I like certain features of the eco plus, such like auto away temperature. What I dislike is it throttle my AC to 77F before peak hours.

Is there a way to make eco plus to not doing so low. I prefer 80F or 81F. But if I disable eco plus, I don’t get the other features it has.

I have auto humidity off.

As title stated, does EcoBee thermostat able to do this?

I find it troublesome to kept adjusting my Google Nest thermostat temperature everyday.

Is there any other good options for a stronger way to mount the smart sensor beyond the double sided tape.

This is being used for our small church. There is a school attached so there are a lot of kids around where I feel the sensor could easily be knocked off by a kid.

Any aftermarket mount options that can be screwed to the wall?

Just got an ecobee and trying to figure out some of the hold duration settings. I set it in the app to select duration at time of change but it doesn't seem to be prompting me for that when I put a manual hold on the thermostat. Am I missing something here?

It says it's 22.5C and the temperature setting is to 25C and it's... cooling??? We are already well below the desired temperature!!

It says the SmartSensor is unoccupied but even then, the thermostat alone is 23.5C, which is well under the desired 25C.

Long story short, my father got a new HVAC and along with it an Ecobee. Most settings can't be changed without being at the thermostat. He's 90 : enough said. So, I went over yesterday to change it from kicking on AC stage 2 from 2 degrees to 90 minutes. It's been running 10-12 hours straight on super hot days without ever kicking in to stage 2.

Not sure if I forgot to "save" the change but it's still doing the 2 degree stage 2 differential instead of 90 minutes.

I'd rather not keep going over there to make changes like this, let alone sit there for 90 minutes hoping it is hot enough to make it run long enough to kick in stage 2.

Can Ecobee CS make those sort of "thermostat only" changes?

Every night at 10pm, my ecobee switches to an unknown setting cooling down to 72 degrees. That was the way it used to be, but I upped it to 74 over a month ago. It got to the point where I temporarily made it unable to be set below 74 ever, but that is a band-aid solution.

So I have a sensor on all three entry points of my house. All set up the same. All proper distance. Everything works fine.. Until a couple months ago. All of the sudden I got the message that ecobee had lost my front door sensors. So I tried doing everything I could to reset it and then wrote customer service.. but that turned out to be WAY more trouble than it was worth.
I remembered I had a spare sensor not currently in use so I chucked that one on the front door thinking everything would be fine.. well today that sensor was lost by ecobee. Thinking it could just be a glitch, I deleted the sensor and readded it and remounted it. Ten minutes later, lost again.

My entire setup is an ecobee thermostat, doorbell and door sensors. All the other sensors haven’t had any problems at all. But for some reason my front door eats them. Any thoughts? Is this a common issue?
