    The Ecobee Smart Thermostat arrived quickly, which mattered a lot since I was in the middle of moving. The instructions were simple and clear, making installation easy even though it was my first time replacing a thermostat. I also really like how seamlessly it integrates with Apple HomeKit—it works smoothly without any hassle. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this thermostat to family and friends.

    So far, so great! Moved to Ecobee from another brand and wish I would have done it sooner. Easy to use, slick interface and loaded with features.

    A budget friendly smart thermostat for Apple

    If you’re looking for a smart thermostat at a great price, and use the Apple home ecosystem - this is the device for you. Setup is easy and straightforward, with an app that helps guide you through the process. I can now control my thermostat with my iPhone by voice, using the home app or the Ecobee app. This makes it easy to setup schedules and automations based on certain days or activities like leaving the home or going on vacation. You even have the option to select different levels of savings which optimizes usage to give you more or less savings based on your specific preferences.

    Ecobee Does it Again

    When I initially made the jump from Nest to Ecobee I was hesitant. Nest is familiar. Nest is comfortable. I’m glad I made the leap. Ecobee is intuitive, easy to install, and the sensor functionality - to specifically focus on temperature and occupancy of specific rooms - has been extremely beneficial for us. I’m a big fan. The Eco+ also has saved us a lot of money, and the iPhone widget is very intuitive.

    Was relatively easy to install (only if your AC techs put extra wires in for ya). I love being able to set profiles from the app and then never have to adjust the thermostat every night and morning!

    I love this smart thermostat. I had one in my previous home, and it was one of the first purchases I made for my new house. It’s easy to install and very user-friendly. I love that I can set a schedule and that it learns my habits, not to mention I can control it from my phone. I highly recommend it.

    First time changing a thermostat and other than trying to get it turned on it was an easy set up. Blue wire wasn’t hooked up to our furnace so once I did that it worked! We love it and runs smooth

    We have had this unit for about 6 weeks now. It has saved us approx. $20 on our first bills since install and like the smart features that automatically allow it to adjust to temp range.
