Now you don’t have to walk to set your thermostat. Just Do it on your phone. Have Siri or Alexa so it for you. You can also schedule when to keep your place cool or warm. They support was really helpful too. It looks cool and clean. Love this product.

I bough this after mistakenly buying a nest (not compatible with many HVACs). The installation, instructions, functionally, and the app could not be more user-friendly and simple to use and follow. This also works with most units. Buy this and skip NEST

Amazing thermostat. I switched from two Google Nest thermostats to two ecobee in a effort to ban Google from my home.
The real reason was the Nest bringing my furnace into a fault state usually at 10pm and leaving me in the cold next morning. Having the furnace in the attic required me to do early morning climbs regularly.
Also the Nests had issues to evenly heat the upstairs and the downstairs zones.
The ecobee is doing a better job here. My heating system is far less active and temperature is now great in all rooms.
They also integrate flawlessly with Apple HomeKit and not compete with like the Nests.no more wheel turn, just tell Siri what you want - or use the ecobee. It’s nice!

I have the Ecobee3 Lite downstairs in the more or less open floorplan public areas, and the Ecobee4 upstairs. Frankly, I like the features of the 4 better, at least in its application - I can put sensors in the bedrooms and have the occupied rooms given priority in terms of comfort.
That said, the 3 is a great set of features, and works well for our purposes. If I wanted to do so, I could add sensors to it, but the base unit doesn't have a sensor so doesn't detect the geofencing home/away status. It's terrific for the money, and gives me good information.
Unlike the programmable units these replaced, there is no battery for storage of configuration. You need good wireless network coverage to permit communication with the Ecobee servers, and a network outage puts them in a less robust mode. But since these are intended as a "Smart Home" adjunct, wireless is assumed.
Important note from a certified wireless engineer - be sure you have good coverage. It's best not to plan for a single wireless router/access point to cover more than about 1500 square feet unless you have a very open floorplan. I get about 600 square feet each in the upstairs bedroom level of our home, with good coverage. If you have an Android device, you can download Aruba Utilities from Aruba Networks (enterprise wireless vendor) at no charge to check your signal levels. It works with any WiFi, so you don't have to be running commercial grade gear.

After it was installed, it was easy to set-up over the WiFi. I have been able to check & change the temperature setting of my house from out of town. It works great. It even sends me messages about the auxiliary heat running too long.I have had it for a month and think it works great.

This is my second one of these (I have 4 zones), and it’s just as great as my first one. They are easy enough to use, and I love being able to access via the app. I don’t need “learning” because I prefer to have a set schedule, so these work well for that.

A Nice Upgrade from Traditional Thermostats

I purchased two ecobee3 lite thermostats to replace my 11 year thermostats that the home builder installed. The old ones were in perfect working condition, but I desired a more modern approach to HVAC controllability. My situation does not require all the available bells and whistles, so the ecobee3 lite turned out to be the right choice. Super simple to install and setup, the entire implementation for both thermostats was about 20 minutes. I can control with my iPhone or Amazon Echo Dot (Alexa), as well as at the thermostat. Research options for various models based on your individual needs and if your requirements fall on the simpler side, you will be happy with this product.

Flawless from installation to operation. Once it's set up, it's just on cruise control. The installation instruction is clear, and I have set up 2 on my 2 floors. The setup can be done on the device or on the app.

By far the best thermostat i've ever owned. Installation is easy. Comes with wire identification tags to make installing this thing a breeze! Comes with wall plate for oversized holes. I installed without the plate and the ecobee looks stylish and sleek on the wall.

Love my ecobee. Replaced my nest with the ecobee. It has much better controls over the settings and allows you to “hold” the thermostat which Nest does not. Easy to install and they include everything you need. Looks great.

Bought it for a friend, who is a quadriplegic, so he can work the thermostat. Paired with alexa. He loves it. Didn't have to rely on anyone to change it. Once in awhile there's a glitch on the server so have to manual the thermostat. Normal last bout 10 min.

In multiple houses I have purchased the ecobee3 lite and only one gave me an issue and lasted only 7 months... He could be honored to warranty and the product works well.
There was a period of a month where the app kept crashing and losing connection non-stop but they have fixed that issue since

Bought two of these because they work with HomeKit. Replaced two Nest thermostats.
I had them professionally installed, and it took the HVAC guy about twenty minutes to remove the Nest and install this one. Setup took about another fifteen minutes because I had to create an account and register them.
The second one had a bit of an issue where I couldn't add it to HomeKit. Half an hour on with Ecobee tech support (available late at night which was awesome) and a factory reset cleared the problem right up.
Much simpler and easier to use. I was able to opt out of the learning aspect of it, and use the minimum features. Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend.

I have this and an Ecobee 4, didn't need the extra functionality on the secondary furnace, glad this option is available. These ecobee thermostats are good looking, easy to use, and to have wifi app control of such an important part of my home is awesome.

this is my 3rd ecobee and you can tell i like it. two for my house 1 for my Dads house. Easy to install easy to use. Like that I can turn down the temp on the way home from work in the summer to cool down the house and now with winter i turn it up before getting out of bed so its toasty warm. Great customer service also as I had questions about installing at my home.
