This Ecobee thermostat was the best investment I have ever so far. My power and gas dropped already for the first month. It was easy to install and the on screen display is user friendly. I recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a new thermostat. You won’t be disappointed.

I love being able to control the temp in my home from my phone and the inconvenience of having access to it the thermostat when I travel! The sensor is awesome! It gets hot upstairs but now it’s more regulated and cooler! Two thumbs up

Good overall upgrade from my Google Thermostat, but it does have its downside. Temperature isn’t always updated. I have to change the temperature for it to update to what the current temp is. The sensor for air quality seems out of wack most times. It’s easy to set up and control via WiFi. It’s my first non-Google home product so I’m not in the ecosystem which I’ve heard sometimes makes a different. Overall a good thermostat so far. Not sure if it’s worth the price.

This is our second ecobee product. When we moved we knew we needed the new version of what we previously had. It was easy to install and the product works so seamlessly. We have had no problems with this system and the app works great.

Easy to install and set up. Makes managing your home thermostat simple. Built in Alexa, works with Siri and the app is also easy to navigate. Definitely worth the investment.

The best smart thermostat on the market. Has a the sensors you may need. Absolutely crushes my old Nest thermostat on features and reliability. The app is also easy to navigate and use.

It takes a little figuring out, but i like it better than my Nest Thermostat that gave up the ghost, or at least thats what my HVAC tech told me. It has a smart feature called follow me that uses sensors around the house to determine which room you’re using to adjust the temperature. I like the app and that it has a touch screen. Pretty nice. With the sensors it tries to keep the temperature as an average temperature through out the house.

I've been using an ecobee thermostat in my home for two months now, and I must say, it's been a good choice. Compared to other brands, ecobee seems to deliver the results, especially in terms of energy efficiency. Its smart features have definitely made a positive impact on my heating and cooling systems. I would recommend it!

If you don’t want Google to sniff your data then get this! Perfect thermostat that works with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home! Software is very responsive (mobile app and web app). The device interface is simple and you can even directly use it as speakers! Just link your spotify account.

Bought this to replace an old thermostat in my shop that controls just a furnace with a 2 wire setup. I actually bought the cheaper version but it wasn’t compatible and this one had more wiring options. I also had to buy a plug in c-wire and after a little setup I can now control the furnace remotely in my shop. Very happy with it.

The ecobee line of thermostats is fantastic. This is my third thermostat in the ecobee product line and it is definitely the most polished a esthetically, it is the most responsive, and their service continues to be extremely reliable. My favorite feature continues to be the smart room sensors.

Fairly straightforward setup, decently easy to sign up for energy savings program through our energy company. A few features like connecting to wifi for the first time, and adjustments for humidity were a little finicky but overall it is worth it for the upgrade and eventually this thing pays for itself!

The Ecobee Premium Smart Thermostat is the latest move to update our home and make it smarter, more energy efficient, and provide us with more knowledge. I wasn’t very aware of Ecobee before this thermostat, but now I am all in!
UNBOXING & SETUP:
- First off I really liked Ecobee’s sustainable packaging on this thermostat. Its a nice way to package everything and makes recycling super easy.
- Like any smart thermostat, you do have to install it and it takes some work on the wiring. But its really straight forward to do and Ecobee’s app / online videos help you make it easy!
- Something I will say I was impressed with, the Ecobee premium comes with a power adapter in case your thermostat is not fully compatible. I think this is a great addition as other companies charge for this extra power adapter, while Ecobee provides it for free.
- Besides that, the Ecobee comes with an optional baseplate which I personally used and think makes it look nicer.
- And of course, like I mentioned above, the Ecobee app is a must have. It helps with just about everything and is what you need to monitor it all when you are not home.
PROS:
- The Ecobee Premium does what it advertises, it looks premium! I seriously loved the look and feel of this thermostat. Really adds a modern flare to your home and looks high end.
- The screen is gorgeous! Its big, easy to use, present information in a helpful way, and really adds to that high end feel I was talking about.
- From a Smart Thermostat perspective, it does everything you want it do. I helps you save energy, gives you insights, has motion monitoring to shut things off when you are not home, and lets you control the temp remotely from your phone. It just has a lot of nice functionality that you would expect it to do, plus much more…
- Where this Smart thermostat starts to go above and beyond is its extra features… firstly being it has Air Quality monitoring, smoke alarm monitoring, and motion tracking. All of these provide an extra layer of helpfulness while checking your home!
- Next, the additional smart sensor is a game changer in my mind! Not only does it monitor the temperature of another room in your house, but it also acts as a motion sensor so it can tell if you are home even if you are not around the main thermostat. On top of that, Ecobee uses the additional thermostat to create a more “whole home” temperature determination. So if your kitchen is 70° and your bedroom is 75° but your thermostat is set to 72°, instead of cooling/warming your house to the desired temperature based on the monitor from one room, it uses both rooms and creates an energy efficient average for the whole house. I think its a great feature and it has worked well so far!
- The thermostat also has a built in speaker so it can work with Siri or Alexa (not Google at this time). However, it also integrates with Google Home, Amazon, or Apple HomeKit so you can control your thermostat along with your other smart home devices all from one app.
CONS:
- For the price, I do wish this came with 2 sensors instead of 1. I think it would be better to have more than the thermostat and the 1 sensor placed around your house, but I’m sure Ecobee did this in the hopes we would buy more of their products…which to be honest I am fine doing!
- I think the Ecobee app could use a refresh and a bit of an upgrade. Its not bad but I just think they could do better considering how great everything else is. The nice thing is, app updates are something that are fixable so its not a huge concern of mine!
BOTTOM LINE:
- I really think Smart Thermostat’s should be something all homes have. They really help cut down your energy bills by being more efficient and it helps you monitor things when you are gone. But the Ecobee Premium goes above and beyond! By offering such a high end device with a great screen, so many options, air quality tracking, and tons of smart features built in - this device really is future proof for some time. I am glad Ecobee is making a big move in this market and think others will be very happy with their products!
