    Best Addition to my Home in Years

    I installed my Ecocbee3 thermostat and three sensors about a month ago and could not be more impressed. It was easy to install and setup. The mobile app and desktop dashboard are both intuitive and informative. My family used to complain about hot/cold spots in the house and now they dont. The smart features are also impressive.

    Best Thermostat on the market

    Excellent Thermostat. Beats Nest hands down for a couple of reasons: If you own a large house and have two floors, the remote sensor will make a huge difference allowing you to only control the areas you care about. The software has been improving and the tracking is awesome too. The thermostat is also scalable: You can have more sensors on a larger house. It can be integrated into your home automation and is reliable. The only quirk I am still finding is that firmware updates are pushed by Ecobee rather than pulled by the user so they can occur at very bad times. I would rather have control over it. Also the fact that it is integrated, there is a concern that an upgrade may break the integration to other devices. So an upgrade may be unwanted.

    Best Thermostat I've Ever Owned

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I just installed it today and it couldn't have been the easiest thermostat I have ever installed ever. Once I connected everything, it prompted for everything and once I did that, it worked flawlessly. I then later on downloaded the app and registered my device and I now can control my Ecobee3 with my phone now. This thermostat works well with heat pumps, which I have. I highly recommend this thermostat.

    I love my Ecobee3 and chose it over the Nest and Lyric because of the remote sensors. It was simple to install and looks great.

    Just a great product

    Installation was easy (much easier that other SMART Thermostats I've used). The user interface is amazing and very well thought out. Customer support is excellent. The one great advantage of this produce is remote sensors. So the temp can be where you want it (not in the hall where the thermostat is).

    Excellent product, even better customer service.

    I have this plus a two-pack of extra sensors in a rental unit. It lets me be sure that I keep a close eye on the place when the tenants are out for long periods of time, and manage and measure energy use. I am as happy with the Ecobee as any product I've ever purchased, especially since internet connected things, and things that require installation in unknown conditions can be iffy. The interface is beautiful, easy to use, and shows great attention to detail, that tells me a lot about the care involved in the whole product. Customer service is by far the best I've gotten on anything like this in decades of dealing with customer service :-) They're phone support staff is friendly, almost deliriously knowledgable, and knows how to describe what you need in plain, non-technical speak. They worked with me on an install in a really weird gnarly old system, as well as one other time that I needed assistance. They were A+ both times.

    Great for those saving money or reducing energy

    Have had my unit for a little over 2 months now... highly recommend for those looking to save money ande reduce energy consumption. The one (1) wireless sensor that comes with this product allows me to control the temp in the room I am in most frequently. Before EcoBee, my thermostat monitored only the room it was installed in to control the temp of my entire home. Unfortunately, the thermostat is located in the diniing room where the temp is always much cooler than the rest of my home due to poor insulation. With EcoBee I finally can control the temp I am in most which has reduced my heating/electrical bill by 18% from the previous 2 months. This stat comes from monitoring my DTE power useage via there "Insight" app - which I also highly recommmend. The Ecobee main unit comes with to mounts to ensure you have a size to accurately cover the unit you replace. Installation is very simple with the instructions they provide.

    I've had the ecobee3 for about 3 months now and works perfect! Has drastically reduced our electric bill by being able to control it from work when my wife leaves the house. The sensors also help so we are always at a good temperature no matter what part of the house we are in.

    I love my ecobee3!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I love the ecobee3! Ive had it installed for one week now and I am obsessed with it. I researched it extensively along with the Nest and Honeywell smart thermostats and I'm so happy with my decision to purchase this unit. Installation using the ecobee videos took about an hour and was straight forward; including installation of the PEK. Some of the key features that make this product great for me are: its ability to turn the fan on when the unit isn't heating/cooling to circulate the air, the mobile app is great for making adjustments while when not at home (although not as robust with features as the desktop web portal), the ability to remotely monitor temperature in multiple rooms, the IFTTT compatibility... but by far the best feature is the external sensors. These little guys have managed to balance the temperature throughout my house! Something that I have wanted for a long time. This is a great thermostat developed by Canadians!

    Best smart thermostat on the market right now. I love how easy it is to control and how it can integrate into your smart home. The remote thermometer also helps with setting a more exact temperature to a room. Originally purchased a Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat, but their lack of SmartThings support steered me away, and I am very happy it did.

    Best smart thermostat out there!

    After doing extensive research, I determined that this thermostat beat the Nest 3rd Gen without question. What sold me was the remote sensors and the touch screen interface. So far it has worked like a champ and I've been glad I picked it over the Nest. Would highly recommend!

    Great thermostat!!!

    I placed two in my home a year ago. It took a few days to configure the units to my system. (User learning curve I guess) once it was up and running it was light years ahead of my previous thermostats. I was able to control them through my phone and I did see a little drop in my bill. The Texas summer was under control and the units didn't have to run continuously to cool off the hall way. It's worth the investment.

    Outstanding home thermostat

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am the proud owner of an Ecobee3 thermostat. I have a home with two zones, consequently I have two thermostats. Each thermostat has three sensors which provide occupancy and temperature information for various locations throughout our home. The sensors are unique to Ecobee as they provide environmental information which through a special algorithim balances temperature to all rooms. It even identifies occupancy!

    Better Than Nest

    Bought 2 Ecobee3 thermostats plus 2 extra sensors to replace 2 Nest thermostats. My house is the most comfortable it has ever been since we moved in 6 plus years ago. The thermostats plus remote sensors are as close as you can come to a zoned system without the expense.
