I was looking at smart thermostat's for a while but didn't like something about all that I was looking at. Then I came across the ecobee 3. What a amazing piece of hardware. The interface is supper easy to use. It looks very elagent on the wall. The app for it is exactly the same as the unit so you don't have to learn two different interfaces. Setup was a breeze. I think the best part about it has to be the remote sensor and the occupancy sensor on it. We work a rotating shift that is all over the place so a set schedule would be impossible to enter. With the occupancy sensor when we leave it drops the temp to what we set then as soon as we walk in the the temp starts to come back up. Simply amazing how well that works. We have a 2 story house and the upstairs was always colder. Now we have the remote sensor placed up there in a hallway and have the thermostat average the two units. Now it's always comfortable on both floors. At first I was worried it would be to hot on the mail floor while trying to keep the 2nd floor warmer but somehow it works flawlessly. We will be adding more sensor in the future which is an amazing option that no other smart thermostats had. We did have 1 problem with it that was easy fixed with a quick search on ecobee's website. The remote sensor would loose communication with the main unit. All we had to do was rest the remote (remove battery for 2 min) and its been working perfectly ever sence.

First ecobee3 I bought was lemon, did not work from beginning. I call customer service and they told me to swap with another one. Replacement works flawlessly. It has functions regular thermostat plus wireless functionality. App works great, can't complain. After rebates from local electric and gas companies it cost me 75$ with tax included. I did installation myself, everything went smoothly. I love it so far.

I got everything setup in about an hour. I had to add the power switcher to my wiring in the furnace (included with the Ecobee), to get everything running properly with the wire design in my home. Once you get that setup, the next step is swapping out the old with the new. Make sure you use the provided flags to mark the wires as you remove them form the old thermostat. Then you just mount the back panel and connect the wires to the correct terminals.Then mount the Ecobee to the back panel on your wall. The Ecobee starts up and asks questions about the setup of your HVAC system. It is just a few settings to adjust and you are ready to go. Takes a little time for the software to get ready to go once you set the parameters. Then you just add the Sensor to the room you are in most often and everything is ready. Now comes the fun stuff… Crazy easy to setup and use the Ecobee app on the iPhone. You can control everything from anywhere with your mobile device. (props for whomever decided to make a vacation feature to control light use when you are out of town). If you have an Amazon Echo, you are in luck! You can also adjust your HVAC by speaking the commands out loud! All in all I am very happy with the ease of installation and the features and benefits of this thermostat.

I love my new Ecobee! It not only has saved me money but It was great to install with simple instructions and support to reach out to should I run in to any issues. Once it was all connected it was perfect!!! I cannot wait to get more sensors for the rest of my space to make sure I maximize the Ecobee!! The best part is that it is paired with my Apple products and Amazon's Echo! I would absolutely recommend this product!! :)

I bought 4 Ecobee3's for my 4 story town house and they were easy to install and are working well.
