A:AnswerNo, it will work without Wi-Fi and act like a standard thermostat. You'd be better off getting a cheap standard thermostat if not connecting the unit online.
A:AnswerI believe that may be an option (not sure on the specifics), but you also can set it to only heat or only cool - it won't switch back and forth between the furnace and A/C.
A:AnswerThe ecobee3 lite does have a backlit display. The backlight activates when you interact with the thermostat, such as tapping the screen or adjusting settings. It doesn't stay on continuously, but it will turn on automatically when needed, making it easier to read in low-light conditions.
A:AnswerYes, you can still use your existing Alexa Dot to control the ecobee3 lite thermostat with voice commands. While the ecobee3 lite doesn't have built-in voice control, it is compatible with Alexa and can be connected to your Alexa device for voice commands.
A:AnswerThe ecobee3 lite Smart Thermostat can work with low-voltage, 2-wire heat-only systems, as long as the system uses a standard 24V power supply. It is compatible with most heating systems, including electric baseboard heating and forced air systems, but make sure to check for compatibility with your specific setup using ecobee’s compatibility checker.
