“What’s the difference between EB-STATE5CR-01 and EB-STATE5-01 ? Will an Ecobee smart thermostat replace a Carrier Edge thermostat?”

• According to one of Ecobee's engineers, he thought it was the exact same unit with the only difference being one is branded carrier and the other is branded Ecobee. While none of the local carrier technicians will give me a price on the carrier branded unit, I suspect it carries a premium price tag over the "regular" unit. Hope to prove this right once we get our new carrier HVAC.

• The difference is that the CR model is a Pro, powered by Carrier, model that allows it to work/be compatible with their systems that use/require a communicating thermostat (not the standard, non-communicating with universal wiring).

• I'm just as confused about this. Carrier couldn't explain it to me either. About to reach out to Ecobee in hopes they have more information.
