It can only do that if you have different zones in your home. What it does is work with the sensor and averages the temperatures between itself and where the thermostat is installed. So it can't turn on cooling in one room and not another.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The unit comes with one external sensor that you can place in a room, and you can purchase more sensors if needed. The system can be set up to work off an average of all sensors including the main thermostat, just the thermostat, or any combination therein. This will allow you to condition any given room to your desired temp. You can also adjust the damper on each rooms vent to achieve a more accurate temperature across the home. You may also have air sealing or insulation issues if you are experiencing large temp differences between rooms...it may not all be the skylights fault.

Please try again later.Hi Jay, the ecobee system is not able to cool individual rooms but rather detect temperature of occupied rooms, and adjust home temperature based on that using Follow Me. When Follow Me is enabled, the ecobee utilizes sensors that have recently detected occupancy in temperature averaging, providing that these sensors are included in your current Comfort Setting. In other words, the temperature averaging feature of the ecobee will follow you throughout the home, delivering comfort to the rooms you inhabit.
