Smart Thermostat Enhanced - Programmable Wifi Thermostat - Works with Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant - Energy Star Certified - Smart Home

I was extremely impressed by the ecobee smart thermostat enhanced. The device is attractive and easy to use. It integrated quickly with my SmartThings and works flawlessly with the schedules. The installation process was extremely easy. The app walks you through step-by-step from removing your old thermostat to installing the new one. Set up was a breeze. I love the fact that it provides reports, hourly daily weekly or monthly on the usage of your HVAC system. Mine is a heat pump and it differentiates between regular heat and aux heat, which is good to know to help me be able to conserve my energy usage. I highly recommend this thermostat. The only downside is that there is no circulation settings for the fan. There is an option to set the fan to run a minimum of a certain number of minutes an hour, but that’s not the same as a circulate mode which runs it as needed. I hope in the future enhancement they add this to their thermostats.

Just got through installing my new Ecobee smart thermostat – enhanced version. It’s not the easiest thing to get up and running, but if you watch a few YouTube videos and pay close attention to the wiring requirements prior to attempting it, you’ll have it set up in 30 minutes. This was important because while you’re installing it, the AC has to be shut off. Mine came with a trim ring included, which was important because my previous thermostat footprint was a lot bigger than this so it saved me having to patch up paint around the edges.Make sure you know whether or not you have an active C wire connected to your existing thermostat (normally a blue wire) AND “operable” - meaning it’s hooked up to a C post on your existing thermostat — because if you don’t, this could complicate installation requiring you to install a wireless adapter to your main AC unit (included with mine but not needed). I don’t use Apple or Google to control it. I just use my wireless router and an Ecobee iOS application on my iPad, which seems to work fine. You to set it up manually if you’d like without using your phone or tablet, which is what I did. The main menu on the unit itself is pretty intuitive. Granted, its day one right now so I’ll post more if I see any issues. It seems to be working great and I like the schedule capability that allows you to set home, away, and sleep modes to adjust the temperature differently and automatically which is light years ahead of my ancient Honeywell unit. There is also a motion detector on the unit which can determine if you’re home or not and reset the temperature automatically. I turned that function off because we come and go often during the day and don’t want my AC ramping up every 2 hours.

Very happy with this thermostat, so much better than the previous one. It looks and works great and the phone app is one of if not the best on my phone, simple and straight forward. Also, the customer service was great. The wiring was slightly different than my old thermostat and the heat pump wouldn't start. Sent an email to customer service, on a Sunday, received a quick reply asking for a photo, another quick response, moved one wire and works great. A great product from a great Canadian company.

I ordered this to take advantage of Amazon Prime Day. Delivery and packaging was great. Installation and setup was easy and straight-forward. But after about 15 hours of operation, the display was defective on the lower third. I called Ecobee and they suggested I contact the seller. Amazon said they don't offer a replacement display/control module, but that I could return it as defective, so I did. Waiting to receive credit to my account. Anyway, Ecobee makes a great thermostat.

We have used a Nest in our home for many years, but with the changes in parent company and obsolescence of our first-generation device, it was time to change our smart thermostat. The ecobee looks like a great alternative for a family used to a Nest. One of the main features that we liked was the built-in support for remote sensors. Like many houses, our thermostat is located in a hallway that is rarely traveled. The temperature tends to be cooler at the location, and there is not enough traffic for home-away mode to function effectively. Spreading out the sensors into multiple rooms was a must-have feature. I would like to say that installation was a breeze, but it was not. The Nest worked a little differently, and our wires were labeled for how the Nest worked. Following how the wires were labeled meant that the Ecobee did not function correctly at first. Once I opened the HVAC unit and followed the wires back, they were color-coded correctly. Changing two wires and the Ecobee started working flawlessly. The Ecobee is definitely larger than our old thermostat, but that is really not a problem. It has a bigger screen that is easier to read and use. The Ecobee connected to our eero 6 mesh wifi without any problems, and we configured it with the application. It immediately started providing outside temperatures and configuration for comfort. It was also picked up in our Apple HomeKit without a problem. The one area we continue to struggle with is the granularity of control with the Ecobee. With our old system, we were able to define a sophisticated schedule for temperatures. The Ecobee just gives you Sleep, Home, and Away options with predefined temperatures. The temperatures are set in the comfort settings. This is also adjusted slightly by the eco+ settings. We were used to much more control with the old system. However, the important part is that we are comfortable. The hot spots in the home have been nearly eliminated by the sensors. It is different and takes getting used to. The ecobee was less expensive considering the features you get.

This is not battery operated. If your house’s thermostat wiring doesn’t come with a C wire, consider paying for professional installation. The C wire is what supplies constant power to this thermostat, but some houses didn’t bother to run that wire because they assumed your thermostat will use batteries. This does NOT mean you’re out of luck, but it does make the install more complicated. You will either need to run an additional wire through your walls or you’ll need to install the included PEK (not all thermostats of ecobee include it, so check your model and house wiring before buying). The PEK is, in my opinion, an ingenious piece of technology that deserves praise for how magical it seems. It repurposes 2 existing signal wires so that one wire becomes the C wire carrying constant power, and then the other wire carries various voltage levels to indicate multiple signals between thermostat and PEK; the PEK then translates those voltages and splits them back into separate wires for the rest of the system. However, it does require work near or in your HVAC unit. I had to spend a good bit of time carefully inspecting the colored wires, making sure I knew exactly which is which. Again, houses are all different and some might use nonstandard wire colors; for example, my blue wire functioned as the Y wire, with no yellow in sight! You should be absolutely sure of what does what; you’ll probably want to read up on the purpose of each wire. ecobee includes stickers to help you label the wires as you investigate. But once the PEK is installed, the thermostat works beautifully. The touch screen is responsive, it walks you through startup easily, and the app is full of features and settings galore. Again, paying for a professional will save you wiring confusion whether you need the PEK installed or just run a new wire.

This was one of the most user offensive and bad products I have ever purchased. I bought this thermostat and the Ecobee Premium to replace my two old Nest thermostats. I was actually upset at Google for ending support for the Gen 1 thermostats and thought that was bad, but boy was I in for a treat! So to start: opening and installing.. fancy software, touchscreen because everything needs a touch screen nowadays, and instructions were ok. Followed the steps to match the wires, label.them and plug them in. So far so good. App: it all seemed good, installed the Ecobee app, paired the thermostats and it all seemed to work. But then I got notifications about the smart alarms, smart doorbells optimizing the home and so on. Love it... I already spent 400 bucks on your devices and you are already upsellig me on your other crap before even getting a chance to see if this one does the job.... Which brings me to the second part . It does not do the job... I will replace this by mentioned I did check compatibility on their site and Ecobbe mentioned that the wiring is indeed compatible with the thermostats. So on to operation... It turns on the heat for 5 mins after which it continues to run the fan but blowing just cold air( not AC although with the beauty of software nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if it started that one too). So I tried everything, double checked all the wiring, power cycled the furnace and the thermostats and nothing worked.. So.in short, they tried to be fancy and made a product that doesn't work... I don't understand why everyone recommends this and nobody mentions how they push ads on you. So if you enjoy seeing ads Everytime you want to change the temperature in your house and no support for making the thermostat work, buy this product. Otherwise stay away, get something cheaper. I will go back to my nest, Id rather control them by hand than have to put up with this.

I used to be a die-hard Nest thermostat fan. Thought nothing could top it—until the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Enhanced came along and completely changed the game. This isn’t just a thermostat; it’s a lifestyle upgrade. From the moment we installed it, I knew we were onto something better. The interface is sleek, intuitive, and incredibly user-friendly. No confusing menus or clunky settings—just smart, responsive controls that make managing your home’s climate effortless. It learns quickly, adapts intelligently, and makes temperature adjustments feel seamless. And let’s talk savings. Our AC and heating bills have noticeably dropped since switching to Ecobee. It’s not just about comfort—it’s about efficiency. The way it optimizes usage without sacrificing performance is impressive. It’s like having a personal energy manager working behind the scenes. The design is modern and clean, blending perfectly into our home without drawing attention. Setup was a breeze, and the app is just as polished—giving us full control whether we’re home or away. I’ve gone from Nest loyalist to Ecobee evangelist, and I’m not looking back. If you’re serious about saving money, simplifying your life, and upgrading your home’s tech, this thermostat is a must-have. Don’t hesitate—this is the one you’ve been waiting for.
