Select this item to set the temperature at which the Smart Thermostat will generate a High Temperature alert. The range can be adjusted to: Off – no alert will be generated Set temperature range of 86 – 100°F (32 – 35°C).

Programming your Smart Thermostat

Your heating and cooling needs change depending on the time of day, and day of the week. For example, if there’s no one in the house during the workday you might want to let the temperature go up in the summer, to reduce energy used by the air conditioning system, and go down in the winter, to reduce energy used by the furnace. Your Smart Thermostat is flexible – you can program four different time periods per day, seven days a week. Each period is represented by a unique icon. These icons can be found on various screens on the Smart Thermostat as well as on your personalized web portal. They are:

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig15,PNGAwake this represents the period when you are awake. The start time of this period is typically when you get up in the morning.

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig16,PNGWork this represents the period when you are at work and the home is not occupied. The start time of this period is typically when you leave to go to work.

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig17,PNGHome this represents the period when you are home. The start time of this period is typically when you get home from work in the evening.

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig18,PNGSleep this represent the period when you are sleeping. The start time of this period is when you go to bed at night.

We call it a Smart Thermostat because it learns how your home and heating and cooling equipment perform. This means you can be sure that your home is at the temperature you want, when you want it, without wasting energy. When your schedule changes, you can quickly and easily update the thermostat settings directly on the device itself or online through your personalized web portal. Your Smart Thermostat comes pre-programmed with EnergyStar recommended settings. These settings can save you up to 20% on your heating and cooling energy costs when compared to a nonprogrammable thermostat. If your preferences are different than the recommended settings, you can easily adjust the time periods and temperatures of your system. There are two ways to program the Smart Thermostat use the Wizard that guides you through the steps OR use the more advanced Editor feature.

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig19,PNG

Using the Program Wizard

The Smart Thermostat Wizard takes you step-by-step through a process to determine when you’re awake, go to work, come home and go to sleep. You’ll then set appropriate temperatures for each of those time periods.

Note: If your Smart Thermostat is in Hold mode, you must press Resume in order to get to the wizard.

The Smart Thermostat will not ask you what temperature you want in your home during work hours. Instead, it automatically sets this value to minimize your energy consumption, while ensuring the room temperature reaches the desired temperature when you come home. If you prefer to set this temperature manually, use the Editor feature. If you want to change anything, you can either run the Wizard again, or press Editor to make specific changes. See Using the Editor on page 16. If you do not connect to the internet, you must ensure the time and date are programmed. Refer to Personalizing your Smart Thermostat on page 10 for details.

To use the Wizard:

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig17,PNGFrom the Home screen, press Program.

Note: If your Smart Thermostat is in Hold mode, you must press Resume in order to get to the Wizard. Press Wizard in the upper right corner of the screen. Choose the setting that best fits your daily routine.

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig11,PNGPress Next to go to the next question.
Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig14,PNGWhen the congratulations screen appears press Done.

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig20,PNG

Using the Editor

The second way to edit your Smart Thermostat program is to use the Editor. This method is more advanced than the Wizard. You can edit specific times, temperatures and furnace fan settings for each day of the week. Select the desired program period to adjust start times or disable the period entirely. Select a current Heat or Cool set temperature to adjust the temperature or fan settings for that period. Any program period changes will automatically apply to all the days that period runs and are shown at the top of the screen. If your system is enabled for auto-changeover mode, the heat and cool set temperature will automatically be adjusted to ensure a minimum difference between the heat and cool set temperatures. In auto system mode the fan setting will revert to whatever is configured in the Details – fan setting. Auto-change over mode and the minimum temperature difference is configurable in the installer setting.

Note: Humidity levels are not included as a programmable option, even if a humidifier or dehumidifier is installed and controlled by the Smart Thermostat.

To use the Editor:

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig17,PNGFrom the Home screen, press Program then press Editor in the upper left corner of the screen.

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig11,PNGSelect the days you wish to adjust (choosing more than one day will change settings for all the days selected) and press Next. Adjust temperature by pressing the heat or cool buttons on the right hand side.

This results in increased air circulation and a more consistent temperature within the home. This is more cost effective than choosing the ON position for the fan In either mode, the Smart Thermostat will ensure that when your vacation ends the thermostat will revert to the regular settings.

Note: If you were running your regular program prior to the start of your vacation, on your return the Smart Thermostat will restore your home to those settings. If you were in Hold mode prior to the start of your vacation, the Smart Thermostat will restore the home to whatever the set temperature was just prior to your vacation.

UNDERSTANDING ALERTS

Ecobee-Smart-Thermostat-Fig22,PNGFrom time to time your ecobee system will display an alert. For example, the alert might be a reminder to change the furnace filter,
or perform regular maintenance. If you have a flood sensor installed in your house the system can alert you when water is detected, potentially saving you thousands of dollars from damage due to flooding. If you have enabled the Internet connection to your Smart Thermostat, these alerts can also be sent to you via e-mail. When an alert displays, you can dismiss it or ask to be reminded later. For example, if you receive a furnace filter alert and choose Remind me later, the alert will clear and display again 24 hours later. If you choose OK when the alert displays, it will reset the reminder.

List of Alerts

Below is a complete list of alerts. Depending on your configuration, some of these may not apply to your system.
