- A: The ecobee3 lite does not have Amazon Alexa built-in but can work with your other echo devices. It also doesn't come with a built-in occupancy sensor so you may want to consider buying a SmartSensor 2-pack to go with it. Here's a handy comparison chart: https://support.ecobee.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028428931-What-are-the-differences-between-ecobee-SmartThermostat-with-voice-control-ecobee4-ecobee3-lite-and-ecobee3-
- A: Hi Wendy, the difference is that the Pro version gets a 5 year warranty, as it is installed by one of our professional installation partners! Hope that helps :)
- A: If you set up smart home/away, when the sensors detect motion it will set your temperature to your home profile so will keep the temp at that temperature as long as people are moving in the house. Also. If you have Apple devices you can control it from there by whose home or away. Other smart assistants can also be integrated. I was able to set mine up on 30+ old HVAC system. Very strait forward instructions and you can also call their support line if you have questions.
- A: I just recently purchased a Ecobee thermostat. And after a couple days of installing, I was told to set the thermostat to Auto. Which the Ecobee will do it's thing. So to answer your question. The ecobee will only start your heater, and will heat your whole system. But will shut off when the zones with the sensors that are occupied have reached the temperature that was set on the thermostat. Meaning the heater will stay on until the rooms with the sensors have reached its comfort setting. Even if the rooms without the sensors have not reached the comfort setting you set the thermostat to. That would be because the ecobee does not know the rest of the rooms temperature without the sensors. So if you have the smartsensor in your master bedroom and are only occupying that room. And not occupying the room that you have the thermostat. and you set the thermostat to 72 degrees. And the current temperature is reading 72 degrees in the bedroom and 69 in the room with the thermostat. Then your heater will not start because there's no sense in starting the heater if the room that is being occupied is already at it's comfort setting. Hope that helps

A: It can work with any system. The trick is to call them and be prepared to be on the line for about 30-45 minutes. They will fix you right up.- A: Yes, you can enable or disable it from the app. I have my ecobee right next to my Sonos which uses Alexa. No issues here.
