- I have ecobee thermostats with sensors in the rooms that know when we leave the house and will adjust temperature in the house accordingly to save energy while nobody is home. ... My bill is probably 30-40% cheaper each month after upgra...
- Ecobee all the way. I really like how the remote sensors help balance the entire house. I also like the flexible schedules, and the ability to manage the houses temperature from anywhere. Easy to install, works great.
- A smart thermostat (Ecobee/Nest) is the cleanest win if you’ve got a central system — quick install, solid scheduling, and decent occupancy logic.

Cons
- Have them read the installation guides for Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell …. for whatever you’re looking at buying ….
- This is what I did for my parents when we got them an ecobee and realized they didn’t have power coming to their exiting thermostat.
- Ecobee? Aren't they owned by a Private Equity that have trashed features like dev API support and still to this day , cannot get a temperature setting correctly.
- Fuck ecobee. Seriously. They suck. Their air quality monitor is relative. So you can have really clean air, a spec of dust passes through it and you get alarms about bad air quality. (Tested with an ARNET). The fuckers killed their A...

I have had Ecobee in 3 houses and they work really well. I have not done any smart automation with anything other than their app, but it has all the flexibility you need because it can also do motion detection.
We have Ecobee and like it.
