Best upgrade, works with Alexa and more
Set was super easy, I thought it would be a more daunting task but they killed it when it comes to instructions. It will ask you everything to ensure you connect it right. Other than that, app works great, saves me money on my power bill 10/10

I think Ecobee is one of the best thermostats available.
I have been using the ecobee smart thermostats for maybe 8 years now. I find them to be very reliable and I really like the optional extra remote sensor that you can place in different rooms. Using them seem to get an more average temperature from around your house instead of just on the thermostat itself. Anyway, I have installed them in a few friends house and they are very handy when you are away from home and can adjust them with your smartphone. This particular one, I ordered for my friends winter home so that they can monitor and control the thermostat remotely throughout the year when they are away. I like the fact that it integrates nicely with Amazon Echo and you are able to control the thermostat via voice. Which is nice when you are a tad bit warm or cold and you want to adjust the thermostat a without getting out of bed in the middle of night. I use Amazon Echo to ask what the temperature on the thermostat is or what the thermostat is set to. This is definitely worth upgrading your home with a smart thermostat. I have had other smart thermostats but none of them have lasted as long as my Ecobee’s.

Works like a champ, with a few install notes
Fairly easily replaced my old Google Nest thermostat (2nd gen). Since google is discontinuing the ability to control the gen 1 and gen 2 models using the app after October 2025, I neeeded it replace it, as I use the app frequently.To be fair, Google sent an email about it, along with a $130 discount voucher for their newest, fanciest model. I suppose it would have been a super deal, although I was so upset about them killing a perfectly good product, that I deleted the email in a huff.A month later, after looking around at the various smart thermostats, I concluded it might be easiest to just replace it with another google (?) product. Of course, the email was nowhere to be found in the trash or anywhere else. Contacted them to see if they could send it again, and it had to get to level 2 support just for them to tell me that my thermostat wasn’t eligible after all. Bah humbug.The ecobee had the main features I use (fan on by itself for adjustable periods of time (15, 30, 60, 120 minutes), as well as a temp hold for if you’re home longer than your usual schedule, with override options. These features aren’t quite as intuitive as I’d like, but with use they have become easier to find and activate.The install was ok, though the round bottom edges of the unit prevented its use with the already installed google trim plate. So, a bit of drywall touchup and paint was needed. The bigger issue was the need for a C wire. After a bit of panic and/or distress about there not having been one on the Nest unit, I finally discovered an unused wire wrapped around both ends of the cable: one at the wall, and one inside the hvac unit. So after looking at the situation, I decided to unwrap and connect the blue unused wire to the C terminal inside the hvac, and to the C terminal on the thermostat.All works fine and I am happy enough, and even discovered that there *were* instructions about the extra wire in the installation app, but I only discovered that after I figured it out on my own. Sigh, and I’m an engineer, ha ha.

Pleased with our Ecobee smart thermostat.
We stayed in a vacation rental which had this thermostat which we really liked, so we bought one for our home. It was pretty easy to install. A tech support guy helped me diagnose the issue when the thermostat didn’t energize. The previously unused blue common “C” wire was not wired inside of the furnace panel, so it wasn’t giving the thermostat the 24v that it needed. I was told which wires to splice it into. Did that and it fired right up. Great tech support folks!

Works great! Looks great.
Switched from Google Nest smart thermostat. Was having issues with my heat not turning on this past winter. Would wake up freezing in middle of night. Thought it might be my furnace at first, but found nothing wrong with it. Someone suggested it might actually be my thermostat as they had issues with their Nest. Absolutely no issues whatsoever since I switched to the Ecobee. Love it!! Much more dependable and very easy to use app.

Great so far
I bought this after Google lobotomized my Nest thermostat late last year. Happy they did, because I like the Ecobee better – similar ease of use but more features. I won’t be going back to the Nest.My Nest used 4 wires, and the Ecobee needs 5 (it needs the C terminal connected). Ecobee sells a wiring kit as a fix for this if you only have 4 wires, however before you spend money on that, check to see if your thermostat cable has extra conductors. The wire in my 30+ year old house has 8 conductors, 4 unused, so I was able to connect an unused conductor to the C terminal on the Ecobee, and splice it down at the furnace control board. An easy fix that saved some money.

Wonderful Smart Thermostat
The thermostat works great, gotta tweak a few settings, otherwise if it is cold it alerts you that Aux heat has run for 3+ hours in 24 hours. And make sure it is installed correctly if you have a heat pump.
