Holy Cow! I had come to hate this device because there were no instructions included with the unit. We had a whole HVAC unit installed with this thermostat. Your video saved the device and provided me with all the info I needed to use it wisely. Thank you so much.
Yes me too! What the heck is it with no instructions in the box? I am a disabled senior and I was stressing so bad on how to use this. The A/C guy came back and nicely programmed it for me because I couldn't figure it out as I do "time of use" with my electric provider. He explained a little but was still confused. I need to know for myself in case I need to make changes. I watched one video and was so lost. Then found this one and he did a great job!. My Ecobee 3 Lite is interface is slightly different but being slightly techy I could still find where to find things.
I downloaded the manual online but this video is waaaay easier to understand. I love love love being able to adjust the temperature from the app on my iPhone when watching tv. How amazing is this world?
My Ecobee 3 Lite has a bit different interface. But your video was tremendously helpful. I was so frustrated with no instructions in the box, dispite AC guy coming back to set it up for me. I am hands on and needed to know how to do it myself. Being able to pause due to my old brain, lol helps me tremendously. I have saved this if I have to check back on something. The frustration is now gone. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your help. I was ready to rip that thermostat off the wall! Your information is so easy to understand and now I am able to understand and operate my thermostat. THANK YOU!!!!!🤗
Me to but I wanted to hit with a Hammer also........... I just got it with a new unit today I am not a high tech person Now I see how to run the Heat at least for now great video He made it easy to understand
I just got a new system installed with the Ecobee 3, they forgot to leave me the instructions 🤬 Thank you for showing how thermostat works. You got my thumbs 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I just finished watching this 2nd video of yours regarding the Ecobee3, after watching the first one. My new Ecobee3 just arrived in the mail today and thanks to your GREAT videos, it was a breeze to install and set up. I can't thank you enough for the great job you did in producing these videos. You covered everything and I couldn't be happier! I can't believe that some jerks out there gave you a thumbs down on your first video and on this video. Obviously they are spoiled & entitles jerks who only take from society and have nothing of their own to contribute to try and help other people. Thanks again and I am happy top subscribe to your channel!
Well that was an eye opener. Thanks for that. But how do I know If my heat pump compressor is on or of and is there a display that shows when the heat strips kick in. I have not seen that in the video.
I hate this control. I am constantly cold. How can I change my heat setting to go higher than 67.It refuses to heat more than that and I cannot change it.
This device is effective but incredibly difficult to use day to day. I have spent hours staring at it trying to set temps since it was installed a year or so ago. This video is very helpful, but if the unit were well designed I would not have to consult a video each time I need to make an adjustment. Sleep Home Sleep. What could be more confusing? This unit could win an award for Most Non-intuitive Device Used in the Home.
Maybe you can help me, Example: I turn it to COOL and the room temperature is at 76 and I put the blue number at 74 (because I want the temperature to drop to 74) but the air NEVER turns on. What am I doing wrong ?
I miss my old system. This one I can't seem to get it working to be comfortable. When it's 100 degrees outside I want to keep my house at about 80degrees and not have it running every 5 - 10 minutes. Still haven't figured out how to keep it from going on so often.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You do better than the ads, i know ads only get 30 seconds, but it did not tell me enough info to want to buy it but YOU did! thanks.
Hi! Thanks for your video. You missed the explanation on the AC overcool max. I honestly hate this thermostat. I’m just trying to have my temp set to a certain temperature and the system keep overwriting it. I want it to be 74f night and day and it keeps getting down to 69-70 (even when it’s over 80F outside). Already turned off the fan, humidity control, set up the schedule and comfort settings to 74F to no avail. Does anybody have an idea what is going on? I’m really tempted to just go buy a Nest at this point. I’ve used Nest before and never had issues like this.
AC overcool max is if you had set up your ecobee to also mimick humidity control. If humidity is high, will attempt to dehumidify your home by running your AC _longer_, colling _below_ your set temperature, but no more cooler than this threshold. I have this disabled. About keeping one set temperature all the time, I set my hold mode to "Hold until I change it" and it ignores the schedules. I did set Home and Away temperatures (I don't use Sleep) and I just don't use the Schedules (I work from home and then may be away for days at a time). So I really only use the "Home for now" and "Away for now" options. Another clue is after if you change the temperature it pops up "## and holding," then you know it'll keep that indefinitely until you change it. But if instead it says "## until [time]" then it's not holding indefinitely and will fall back to a schedule.
I just had this installed and found this an extremely great overview ! The irony though, I specifically was interested in what you might say about the AC Overcool Max and you look to have skipped it. I am debating using a couple degrees there in the summer as I have slightly high humidity inside.
I have the Ecobee T stat. Love it. Love the app as well. The one thing I don't like is the way you change the temp setting. Id prefer to have a up/down touch screen buttons
Thanks for the video! My Ecobee was installed by the HVAC company, and did NOT come with an owner's manual! I also have a Heat Pump, and wonder if you could add that in to show how it works. On my system (two stage furnace), the fan runs slower on furnace heating, than on heat pump heating. Is there a way to force the fan to run on high while using the furnace?
Curious about the touchscreen on this thermostat, is it responsive with a light touch like a smartphone/tablet? I have a smart Honeywell thermostat, and the touchscreen is horrible, takes a very long/hard press in order to register a touch. Thinking of switching to this one.
Our Ecobee3 Lite (bought 3 weeks ago) has different preferences. Ours doesn't have the screen brightness or 'Active to Standby' mode :( I can't figure out how to adjust those. 😢
Great explanation, but I want my fan to stay on all of the time. I have a whole house air cleaner which needs to run all of the time. All I see here is the choice of “Auto” for the HVAC fan. I have set it “On” in the other selection panels. Will that allow it to stay on constantly?
I didn't see an option to adjust Heat Differential Temperature (i.e. temp swing). The website says this should be in the threshold menu but I don't see it on this video. I have a Sensi right now that cycles too often, even on the slow setting. If I set temp for 75, it'll turn on before it even says 74 on the thermostat. I want it to be able to drop a couple degrees before it kicks on rather than cycling all the time and wearing out the HVAC equipment. Can anyone confirm this is an adjustable option ont the Ecobee 3 Lite?
Sorry, stupid question. Why are your cooling (AC) temperatures higher than your heating temperatures? I’m coming from a condo, so the way my old AC worked. I would set the thermostat to a cooler temperature than what the outside temperature is.
Yep! if you set up your ecobee 1) to control the fan with the thermostat, 2) do manual instead of automatic staging) then 3) heat and cool dissipation time options for both heating and cooling will appear in the Thresholds menu
If I get one of these can I just set it to 72 and nothing else? Just always on the home setting? No away or sleep? My schedule is all over the place. I can go to bed at 9:00 p.m. one night and midnight the next night and the following week I could be could be on a business trip. I would like if I could just set it to 72 and then when I leave and turn it down to 66 on the app. When I get home I can turn the temp back to 72. All these settings are crazy.
I was thinking of putting one of these in my garage, what is the lowest heat setting it can do? My battery operated one will go to 40F, I was hoping to go to 35F to keep my garage just above freezing in the winter. Thank you!
I WISH it had a specific "Pre Time of Use" PTOU and "Time of Use" TOU modes added to the comfort settings. That way if your Time of Use starts at 4PM to 8PM, you could select "Pre Time of Use" "PTOU" to kick in 45 min before, and either blast the heat or crank up the A/C for the 45 min preceding time of use, then it would switch to TOU setting (say 4PM to 8PM) where it dials down the system during time of use hours, then it resumes to HOME or AWAY or SLEEP mode. That way your house stays relatively comfy while the system is idling during TOU hours. Even better the TOU mode could adjust stage 1 time to say 30 min, before escalating to stage 2, during TOU, and or limit stage 2, to 10 min (or so) max during TOU hours.
How to turn the Ac on from 3am to 5am specifically! (I am trying to implement super cooling scenario in my house , as electricity is cheap at night time during summers).
You would need to setup a new schedule in the middle of the night, called "Away" or "Home" and set it for the shortest time, 30 minutes. Then add another "Sleep" schedule right afterwards with the lowered temperature. Not the best solution, but I think it would work.
As a hvac tech doing way too of extreme temperature swings will cost you MORE energy then it will ever save you. No only does it have to heat or cool your air, it also has to remove or add energy from objects as well. It will require your equipment to work harder and longer to reach your home temperature. It is always advised to never go more then a two degree change.
It depends on how long you will be away. Most sources say that if you will be away for more than 8 hours, it makes sense to increase/decrease your temperature setting a maximum of 5 deg F. It also depends on your system. A heat pump should maintain a nearly constant temperature whereas a gas or oil furnace can be set for 5 agree away temperature swings.
Hey! What does it mean when it shows the temp and the timing like example “24 until 6:30am” ? Can you please explain this for me. Thanks ! And yes very clear video.
Thank you. Great video. The information you have was great and very clear. I’m sure I’ll watch it a few times though because there are so many great features to check out.
This means your ecobee isn't detecting the Y1 terminal properly. Remove the thermostat off the wall, and check if there is a wire connected to Y1. If there is, all we need to do is reconfigure the ecobee. Reconfigure the ecobee: Main Menu > Settings > Installation Settings > Equipment > Reconfigure Equipment 1.-I am a Home Owner 2.Yes, only Rc is connected 3.-Make sure Y1 is highlight. Continue on the setup process. Now, to turn on the system mode cooling: Main Menu > System > HVAC > Cool
I had a HVAC contractor come in and take this crap out and put in a Honeywell T6 pro. Programmable thermostat. It works great. I'm not spending days figuring this thing out. I sold the one I took out for 40 bucks on FB.

I was thinking the same How do I know what time will I go to sleep and wake up I wanna be able to set temperature manually on random days. This thing wanna have weekly schedule 🤪
@@ShadowAlmighty I can schedule temperature and time but I can't cancel cycles. Which means it has to change temperature in certain part of the day and I have to adjust it manually to the desired one again
any particular reason why? i'm thinking of getting this model.i really just want to be able to control the thermostat using my phone. is it not possible to disable all the "smart" features on this thing?
Our HVAC company techs are replacing our E-3 with something else right now. Tech support at Ecobee refused to cover a defective unit that is clearly still under warranty. It keeps dropping the time and date, rendering the programming moot. Reset it manually, and the time/date drops again in minutes. I refuse to give Ecobee any new sales because they WILL NOT stand behind their product.
So, what should people like myself do when it's installed and have no other options? It's getting colder by the hour and nothing I try is working. I hate this thing.

any particular reason why? i'm thinking of getting this model.i really just want to be able to control the thermostat using my phone. is it not possible to disable all the "smart" features on this thing?
@@trippplefive I'm old school and I don't have days to try and figure it out
I agree, I’m about ready to set “ FIRE “ to this thing
OMG, I thought I was the only one. I paid $149 for this thing. I will pay it again to have it removed!
Your are 100 percent right.
Thermostat won’t turn on its completely blank
I had to connect my c wire
Miswire or blown fuse
Moved into our home and the code we were given is incorrect, we are lost on what to do..
Does this work with a app?
Our HVAC company techs are replacing our E-3 with something else right now. Tech support at Ecobee refused to cover a defective unit that is clearly still under warranty. It keeps dropping the time and date, rendering the programming moot. Reset it manually, and the time/date drops again in minutes. I refuse to give Ecobee any new sales because they WILL NOT stand behind their product.
My parents is acting up again. It’s 80 F and I have everything set up for 65 to 70.
Off top, if he wants the room hotter and the room is already at 71 then why is he wanting it to get to 63 ?
Way too complicated thermostat
Now why would anyone made a week schedule for apartment temperature!?
So, what should people like myself do when it's installed and have no other options? It's getting colder by the hour and nothing I try is working. I hate this thing.
@@kurtm.7494 What else do you need weekly schedule for?
@@lynnkesler4610 What went wrong, is it on? Maybe wires are not connected with furnace
I hate this ac device. I just want it cold in my house. The fan won’t stay on for longer then 1 minute
System is short cycling
