Leave a Review ecobee Smart Thermostat
Awesome!
I bought two of these for my rental properties and they paid for themselves the very first year, and this app is great. I can keep an eye on temperature even when I go to Europe lol!peislandgal
Landlords rejoice!
I own several rental properties and have recently installed an ecobee in each property. I tested in one and was very impressed. Log reports and alerts add the extra piece of mind I needed and the value is great.
Being able to open all my properties on one app and control them is great! Also the feature to password protect the in home tstat is much more appealing then the cheap clunky tstat lock boxes.
Looking forward to more updates and more functionality!Show lessAWayland
Great device, but limited app
I just set up my smart thermostat today and I really like the idea of what they're doing and I love the idea of the iPhone app. It's a little disappointing that the app is so limited. It's great to be able to turn the stat down remotely, but I'd love to be able to turn on/off accessories and view additional sensors. In short, I'd love to have full functionality.
Looking forward to updates.Show lessFollowTheLion
Buggy
Need to have some proper development and interoperability testing between both the thermostat and present version of the smart phone application. As stated in other reviews it is very buggy and slow. Several times so far I have had to reboot phone in order to get past " pick thermostat " screen. As well not all devices I have connected and accessible from the thermostat are accessible from smart phone app.Show lessMark Cameron
Compatibilité avec la version 4.3 du iphone
My thermostat started to bug since the update of my application?? I don't Know if it is related, but it never did that before...Mascouche321
Slower than previous version
The new version is slower than the previous version. Takes more time to connect to the server. There are various bugs : I randomly get a screen where I have to pick my thermostat and there nothing to select. I also get an error saying that it wasn't able to connect to the server. Going back to the previous version.Show lessMinimalistico
It's Ok but...
Not to bad. They should offer at least more languages for the thermostat (french, spanish??)And why can't we have an access on the IPhone to the sensors install in the house ? (ex: wine cellar). Comming soon ?Jonhybegood
Update - happy now, good support, install has now been sucessful
This is an update on my earlier one-star review.
After much troubleshooting end at my end for the install of the thermostat I finally received a replacement unit from Ecobee and the installation this time worked without any problems.
The app works well for me, in particular after changing the "Hold Action" setting in the online settings to "Ask Me" - this makes setting the hold temp with app much easier when away for either a few hours or until the next weekend.
The app still seems to have the flaw that when the thermostat has no online connection, it keeps displaying the last known temperature. It does not indicate that the thermostat is off-line. So you think everything is okay, when in fact something can be wrong. I hope that this will be fixed with the next Ecobee app release, as the online report does show the status properly as connected or disconnected.Show lessHvdW-NJ
Ecobee thermostat
It is great. I can program the furnace fan to operate a number of minutes per hour to move the fireplace heat around, 30 minutes per hour keeps the house very comfy. You can program the system to send emails if hot or cold thresholds are met, my insurance rep thought it may save on insurance because it would let me know if the furnace had failed and save on frozen pipes, something fire alarms cannot do.Show lessSmythpal
Really useful app
This new iPhone app is a great addition to the Ecobee thermostat. Do yourself a favor and get this thermostat - you will save a lot. With the iPhone app, I am now able to control my house heating/cooling on the go. Very simple to use, it just works! Get it.Jackmicro
