I needed a new thermostat and I'm glad I went with ecobee. The ecobee3 lite works with Siri so I can just tell her to adjust the temperature instead of pulling out the ecobee app each time. It also works with Alexa so from my Fire TV Stick I can also adjust the temperature and so forth. I like that I can also set up a passcode so not everyone can adjust the settings Willy Nilly. Oddly enough when I have friends visit they compliment my thermostat which is really odd but I get it because my last one just looked so old. It makes a nice wall piece too, so I like it. Controlling the thermostat is a breeze and the user interface is nice. Setup was also a breeze and customer support is the bomb. My old thermostat had cables labeled as something else that the ecobee didn't recognize. I called in and found out that the wires just have different names/letters these days. I almost thought my AC system wasn't compatible. I'm really happy with this purchase and strongly recommend it. I have to recommend you check with your electricity provider because they may have a rebate for upgrading your thermostat as was my case.

I am so impressed with this smart thermostat. I have a 10 year old house with a relatively modern forced air gas furnace / split AC system. The thermostat came with everything needed to install and the best install guide ever. This perfectly written and tapped install booklet made easy work of what was a simple install! Ones wired and powered on the thermostat practically walks itself through setup. I have great schedules already programmed and the app for iOS is great.

I needed 3 thermostats for my older boiler system. After trying one ecobee3 and liking it, I decided to use this in a zone where I didn't need the remote sensor. It was easy to install and it works the same as its more expensive sibling only without the sensor. The schedule is easy to setup and works well for us. It keeps comfy temp which the Nest didn't do for me. I returned it after many support calls and attempts to fix. I do wish this learned the schedule like Nest did. Overall I'm very happy with this as well as the other two ecobee3 thermostats I bought for the other 2 zones in my home. I got $100 rebates on all 3 from Vectren.
