ecobee - ecobee3 Programmable Touch-Screen Wi-Fi Thermostat (2nd Generation) - Black/White

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.

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.

My thermostat has 7 wires so I was nervous about getting the correct and compatible smart thermostat. I went to Best Buy and Aaron helped me pick this one out. I wanted it to work with SmartThings and Echo as well. I had the Geek Squad do the install and I am so happy with Ecobee3. It easily hooked up with SmartThings on my phone and it's really easy to control. I know I made the right decision and I couldn't be happier.

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!! :)

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 love my new Ecobee3 w/ Homekit. A few of the highlights that I found myself liking more than I thought I would. #1 Mobility. I can control the device from anywhere. We would often turn our temp up while we were away but dreaded coming home to a stuffy hot house.. Now when we are about an hour from home I can tell the device we are home and the house is pleasant when we arrive. Also the scheduling is great. We had a programable thermostat prior but it never seemed to work right. Now we have a sleep schedule so we no longer have to manual adjust before we go to bed. And if we get hot or cold we can grab our phone and make a change. No need to go downstairs to change it. #3 the online data. I am a data nerd and love that I can log on and see when my HVAC is on/off. I can look at what it is actually doing throughout the day/week/month. Our home is about 4200 sq ft so I purchased the additional sensors. We have a sensor in our living room, Playroom, Upstairs Master, and our thermostat is in the Fireplace room. The way the unit uses the sensor of the occupied rooms has made our home overall more comfortable. It is too early to tell the cost savings but the device alone is worth the price even if we do not see cost savings -though I fully expect to see those too. An additional benefit that I wasn't expecting was that it also allowed me to hook up my Humidifier control to it. This was a great bonus and really clean up the look of our wall where we had 2 big white boxes to control our Humidifier and Hvac system

Just installed the ecobee3 10/20/2015. Been doing a lot of receach on smart thermostats (online) for a few months. I had a hunter 44550 for years worked good but I wanted to be able to change setting on the go and have the system know when I was home or not. I wanted to heat our family room better with out buying heaters. And cool the upstairs rooms with out freezing us out in the faimly room. When I seen the remote sensors in ecobee3 I fell in love. Not to mention Comed Electric company gave me $100 and Nicor Gas gave me $20 rebates. Our thermostat is located in the stair hallway leading up yo the Third floor. We spend most of our time down in the family room located on ground level. It's always cool down there so I figured with the remote sensor this will fix that problem.

Great thermostat. Save me hundreds of $$$ this winter. I am so happy i bought this thermostat and would recommend it to everyone.
