Excellent review with thorough information and details!!
Thank you kindly!
Nice review, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I found the Ecobee Premium with 2 remote sensors at Costco for $239.99, so I bought 2 for my home to replace the very undependable ones that are part of my Cox Homelife system. The first one took me a couple hours because I discovered a mistake made by the Cox installer. I had to open the air handler and condenser unit on my upstairs heat pump to make up the wiring. The downstairs Ecobee took me about 20 minutes to complete. So much easier on the second one. I still have a lot to learn about the software, but I think I am going to enjoy them. I don’t expect to save much because we are both retired and are home almost full time, but the software and hardware are far superior to the Cox units.
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you!
The hold feature "decide at the time" what pops up? Does it allow you to decide the hold temperature at the time? Ie a different time each time if you wanted?
I REALLY wish they had an outdoor temp sensor!
I am considering this versus the Sensi Smart touch 2. Which do you recommend?
I got this same exact wiring setup but it doesn't turn on my heat or anything. When I put my old Rheem thermostat back on, it works..
You can also just unplug your furnace like a microwave, if it's accessible like mine is
Does this require any sign-ups/account creation at the vendor website in order to use all the features?
Yes, you'd have to create a login either on Ecobee's website or their app.
@@aboveaveragejoereviews Thanks for the info. Guess I'll stick with my non-Homekit Nest "Learning" Thermostat with its inconvenient interface for manually setting up schedules.
Can I use Siri to control this ecobee? Do you know if I can use Siri with the ecobee lite?
Both thermostats are Apple Home compatible. As long as you connect the thermostat to your Apple Home you'll be able to use Siri from your phone or smart speaker to control it.
Our Ecobee does not have the blue or orange ring.
Just confirming that I can get a max range so no one can change the temperature below a certain temperature? Will be using for rentals.
Yes, you can set a heating or cooling range in the app.
Can I control the temperature remotely when not home?
Yes, through the app you can make temperature adjustments.
Does Ecobee work with Android OS?
Yes you can download it from Google Play Store.
What’s the difference between this and nest?
Biggest difference is screen size, UI and the Nest automatically changes temperatures based off your schedule where with Ecobee you manually setup a schedule and after every month it suggests any changes to your schedule.
Homekit support. I have the Nest Learning Thermostat and there's no built-in support.
Just got two Ecobee 6 and i am extreamely disapointed, i miss my Nest thermostat as it was so much easier to program and adjust. Ecobee is all over the place... Not happy so far
Instead of manually setting up schedules, shouldn’t this smart thermostat be self-learning based on the temperature you set throughout the day/week? My Nest created its own schedule and adjusted within the first week based on my preferred temperatures.
Ecobee is different in that regard. You manually setup a schedule and at the end of the month it suggests changes based off your routine. Then you decide whether adjust your schedule based off of Ecobee's recommendations.
@@aboveaveragejoereviews Yeah thanks for that info. I may keep my Nest just bc of the self adjusting schedule.
Old days they said if you don’t have any problem buy a goat ..I mean if you wane go crazy get ecobee .. I’m sure even ecobee inventor don’t know how to operate this shit …
Paying this much for my ac to telle when i can have air until it turns it off fuck no. Ecobee can suck it
Eco Friendly would mean the package had no printing.
Wow the fact you decided to post this…
