I was using a nest learning thermostat for a couple of years before I switched to this one for my review. Nest is also pretty good, but I’ve been so happy with ecobee. I’m going to keep it on the wall.
The only issue I had with the security system is the motion sensors. So if you wanna set your alarm to arm when your away at work the sensors look for movement in case someone breaks a window or maybe you don’t have a sensor on all your windows and doors. But if you have pets, they can trigger the motion sensors & if you don’t respond to the alert on your phone you will have cops at your door. Ecobee says that if you place the sensors at a certain height pets won’t be a problem with this but that was not my experience. Just something to be aware of.
I "had" a Nest 3rd gen. and completed an installation for a Carrier heat pump and blower unit. Come to find out with the installation team and supervisor, the Nest thermostat had difficulties with the Y1 communication to the heat pump so the company provided me a loaner with the Carrier branded EcoBee Premium until we figure out a solution. I may just end up with an Ecobee, but I wished they had equivalents of Nest Protects. I guess my ecosystem will be split between the two apps which thankfully nest protects don't require anything special.
Our installers for our Furnace was raving about them! Great new as usual!
Thank you 🙏
Great review Erin! I have a second generation Nest. It still works great.

Thanks for sharing, I hope it works out!
So... it requires a basic subscription?
Thanks Erin.
Any time!
