After recent update, it’s broken
Now when I start up the app, I get an invite to add my first device, but no sign of all the devices I’ve already added years ago.
Frustratingly close to awesome
I bought a smart thermostat to have easy remote control of the temperature in my house. I bought the ecobee thermostat because it has multiple sensors and temperatures in my open concept house can vary widely.
Not considering the app control, it mostly works well. I especially liked the feature that can run the fan for a minimum number of minutes per hour, as that really helped minimize the temperature variation running only about 20% of the time of all the time.
Unfortunately, the app is unreliable. Sometimes when I need to make a temporary setting change, it refuses to do so and says it can’t stop eco+ for the day for some reason. Come on! Changing the temp remotely is THE most important feature of the app! It needs to work, every time, every version.

Gone downhill
App was great years ago, now I can’t look or generate reports via the app. Basically, this thing is now a basic thermostat.
What Did You Do?!?
Whatever you Dixon this last update fix it quickly!! The app has lost all scheduling functionality. In other words it’s useless!! Get rid of the stop time and just accept the new start time as a stop. You make one change and suddenly the whole week changes. Horrible update!!
Awful and overly engineered
After having a nest I bought a place that had this Ecobee thermostat. I can't understand how anyone would like this thing. It is so overly engineered and I'm technical. Effectively mine just won't turn off despite spending hours disabling everything. The Nest is far more intuitive and easy to use. I'm replacing this with a nest and maybe it will turn on when I ask it to.
