Announcement We’re improving scheduling & comfort settings in the ecobee app

Post image
90 Upvotes

Hey r/ecobee,  

We’ve been working on making the Schedule and Comfort Settings experience in the ecobee app simpler and clearer, directly based on your feedback. This update has begun rolling out to our Smart Thermostat customers on iOS 17+ and Android 10+. Just update your mobile app to the latest version, click on the Main Menu of your Smart Thermostat, and click Schedule. Don’t see it yet? Don’t worry! This experience will be available to all Smart Thermostat customers in the coming weeks.

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s changing: 

  • A new calendar-style schedule view that makes it easier to see your day. Depending on the level of detail that works best for you, you can toggle between an expanded calendar view or a compressed daily view. Easily zoom into your day to see the 30-minute increments that make up your schedule, or zoom back out to see the whole day at a glance. 
  • Simplified schedule editing for fewer steps to edit activities or copy schedules across multiple days.
  • Comfort Settings built right into the Schedule, so it’s easier to see how your desired temperatures line up with your routine. 
  • Clearer visibility into system behavior, including start/end times of calendar activities, like Home, Away and Sleep. 

Importantly, your thermostat will continue to run as normal and existing Comfort Settings and Schedules will continue to work as expected, so there’s no action required on your part.  

Our goal is to reduce guesswork, make schedules easier to understand, and give you more confidence in how your system is working. 

If you want the full story (including why we made these changes and what’s staying the same), we’ve shared more details on our blog here.

As always, we’re listening and will be monitoring this thread for feedback and questions.

Updates to ecobee Smart Security Plans

0 Upvotes

Hey r/ecobee! 

We’re updating our ecobee Smart Security plans and pricing to make them simpler and more flexible, so customers can choose, and pay for, the level of protection that fits their home. 

TL;DR 

  • If you’re an existing Smart Security subscriber, your features and pricing stay the same through 2026. 
  • No action is required on your part. 
  • Plan names are changing to make things clearer. 
  • Professional Monitoring is now an optional add‑on and available in Canada for the first time! 
  • With Activity Feed improvements, subscribers can now see up to 6 months of whole-home history, find what they are looking for more easily, and know when members come and go.  

What’s changing 

Going forward, ecobee Smart Security offers three levels of protection:  

  • Core: free, built‑in protection 
  • Plus: enhanced awareness and alerts for 1 camera 
  • Advanced: full‑home coverage for unlimited cameras 

We’re also offering 24/7 Professional Monitoring as optional add‑ons, instead of bundling it into select plans. This gives customers more control over what they include in their subscription. 

This is the first time we’ve updated Smart Security pricing since introducing these plans in 2020, and we’re committed to being transparent every step of the way. These changes help us continue improving the service, while giving customers clearer choices and greater control. 

What this means for existing customers 

This is the most important part: 

  • Your current features and pricing are locked in through the end of 2026. 
  • You don’t need to do anything. 

For customers whose plan pricing may change in the future, we’re taking a loyalty‑first approach, including discounted renewals for the rest of 2026. You will receive an email detailing exactly what this means for you.  

What’s new  

We’re excited to share that Professional Monitoring is now available in Canada for the first time, giving Canadian customers access to 24/7 monitoring and emergency response through RapidSOS as part of Smart Security. 

For the first time ever, you can discover and purchase Smart Security plans alongside ecobee devices on Amazon. 

And Smart Security now makes it even easier to see the updates that matter most. Subscribers can now see up to 6 months of whole-home history and find what they are looking for easily with advanced filtering capabilities. Plus, we've made the Know Who's Home feature better with updates in Activity Feed when members come and go. 

Learn more 

We’ve published a full breakdown of the changes, including what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and what new customers can expect on our blog.  

For new customers, check out the new plans on ecobee.com/smart-security.  

If you have questions, we’re happy to help. You can contact our Customer Support team, and we’ll also be keeping an eye on this thread and listening to feedback. 

Thanks for being part of the ecobee community.

Question Ecobee filter subscription issue?

1 Upvotes

I signed up for ecobee filter subscription and accidentally ordered 24x36x1 when I was supposed to get 20x30x1 and 14x14x1. I cancelled within minutes upon realizing my error. I did not realize that one subscription could allow me to add multiple sizes. I then resubscribed with the correct sizes. The system then said that the newly added filters would ship in February (next shipment date) so I called to get help. No answers, their phone system refers to the website. So I just said screw it and cancelled everything.

Two orders of the orginal wrong 24x36 show up to my house…

Cancellation of the subscription within literal minutes of creating does not prompt to cancel the order? They place it instantly and don’t allow any kind of cancellation.

I reach out to customer service by email and their rep gives me the run around that they cannot accept return, even if unopened, and that they can’t offer a refund, but instead without permission resubscribed me and sent me 14x14 for free.

So then I have to go and cancel the subscription again that the rep created and write again. We have probably had 5 email exchanges at this point. Their position is they don’t care that I canceled within moments of the error, and the second time, when I tried to correct the error, but the system queued the correct filters to February but resent the original wrong filter again is also my fault, and that they won’t refund.

Has anyone had issues with them before or do I just have bad luck. Thanks.

Problem Does the android app actually work?

0 Upvotes

Pixel. 10 Pro XL. I set up the ecobee on my wife's Iphone and it works fine. I created a link to add account to my account, and the android app goes to a page that says" not found" after I log in. I have to hit Back and then log in again, but I am not connected to her account.

When I log into her account on my phone, the ability to add another user or to add sensors is missing.

No way to get online help, since the chatbot only wants to talk about the thermostat or sensors.

I seem to be on the latest Android version. Is this an apple only app, or what?

Humidity reading off the roof with my Premium thermostat

1 Upvotes

i just upgraded my Enhanced thermostat to the Premium model.
while on the Enhanced model, the Humidity reading was about the same reading I had with my Fluke Humidity reader.

Now, with the Premium thermostat, its a different story! im my humidity readings jumped from 50's to now 70+ on the premium thermostat. Now, ive been reading and their is the option to do Humidity calibration that maxes out at -10 and +10.

what's going on with this Premium thermostat? is there a setting I missed to setup. I just installed this 2 days ago, if this matters.TIA

Feature Request Why isnt there a pek+ with more wires?

0 Upvotes

If I understand it correctly PEK+ is a digital communication unit so why did Ecobee limit it to 5 wires? Why not add more wires so I can also manage 2 stage furnace via thermostat etc? Or control fresh air intake accessory from thermostat.

Edit: Got my answer here https://www.reddit.com/r/ecobee/comments/1x42phr/why_isnt_there_a_pek_with_more_wires/pfge5h2/

External Transformer on Ecobee (essential, enhanced or premium)

Since Ecobee thermostats do not have separate Rc and Rh terminals, do they support using an external transformer for power? Thx!

Problem Random shut off

3 Upvotes

We've had ours installed for about 2 years and once we got the settings the way we wanted, we hardly touched the device. Then yesterday I noticed the screen was off and it was offline from the app. Strange. A couple double taps to the screen and I got the "hi" prompt and it came back. Is she toast? Did I miss a setting or update?

Door sensor shows open when the door is closed

I change the battery and the sensor still shows the door open when it’s closed. So I thought the sensor was bad and got a new one just installed that and it still shows the door open when closed. Anyone encounter this?

Help with compatibility

1 Upvotes

Is the ecobee thermostat compatible with my system. It is a mini split system attached to a 15 amp breaker. Pictures of the wiring on the mini split and thermostat are below. What exactly am I looking at? What do each of the wires mean? Why are only two wire connected? It doesn’t seem to be the standard setup. If ecobee isn’t an option are there any other?

Feature Request How do I re-enable hold

0 Upvotes

My thermostat seems to have exited hold and entered "Home" mode.

Since there is no way remove/delete this, how do I set it back to permanent hold? I can not seem to find the option in the app.

How do I know...?

0 Upvotes

This MUST seem like a silly question but I've had my Ecobee Premium for seven days. Unlike my old Nest, I don't see any visual indicator that my HVAC stem is running. I have a variable speed heat pump system and ten foot ceilings so at low speeds, there isn't a lot of airflow. Am I right that the Ecobee shows nothing?

Clock disappears when I approach

I hate that the clock disappears on my Ecobee when I approach. A different thermostat does the same thing, but with a swipe I can get it back. And this screen is configurable.

Ecobee???

Problem Fan run on timer bug

4 Upvotes

On the latest firmware that has been recently pushed out has a bug that if you run your fan on a timer, randomly, it will change from the time you set to indefinite. I’ve had it on two occasions now that when I set the fan to run for two hours and I can visually see that it was set to two hours as it tells me what time it will turn off. Only later discovered that the fan is still running and when I go check, it is now set to indefinite.

Problem Door sensors “pause when open” not working

2 Upvotes

We’ve had our ecobee smart thermostat premium system for 4 years now. We have one unit downstairs and one upstairs, with one two-zone condenser outside on our patio and sensors on almost all of our doors and windows.
The system has worked fine (give or take a software bug or two) but In the past month, along with the bug where temps aren’t reading correctly, we’re finding the AC no longer pauses when the door is open. We sit on our patio all the time, and with the door open the noisy condenser near us shouldn’t kick on, but it is constantly turning on. We then turn the desired temp up (it’s normally set to 76 cool, but we turn it up to 78 just to make the unit stop).
I’ve checked every setting possible and all appears normal.
Yes, we’ve put new batteries in the door sensor. Yes, the app correctly shows the door is open with a green dot. And yes, the setting for “pause when open” is checked.
Any ideas, or is this just another aggravating bug?

Thanks….

Problem Ecobee thermostat - only using ac

0 Upvotes

Bought it back in June, worked great! Kept my house nice and cool. However come these colder seasons I’m having issues. I went away for the weekend to find my house set to 12! Outside temp was 15. Looks like even if I force it to heat it’s only cooling the house with AC. I only discovered this now that it’s become season for heat. Any help?

Problem High Humidity Ecobee Premium Is This Due To Weather Change & Anything To Do?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

We have had a Eco Premium for almost 2 years and this is a new issue. We have had a very hot and dry summer (90's-100's and no rain for 70n days) until this past Thursday. Temps dropped to 70's-80's and heavy rains on/off since then. Last night about 10PM I got alert from Ecobee that humidity was 71%. Outdoor humidity has bene very high. I do have. 2 external t-stats and one says 60% and the other says 63% and the Ecobee t-stat says 67%.

MY settings are currently on cool 74 degrees from 6:30AM-9PM and then 70 degrees 9OPM-6:30AM (we like to sleep cool). Do not use any smart settings, Fan is on auto - every 15 minutes. We actually just changed our air filter yesterday morning. I recall last October/November we had some comfort issues as we can go from hot to cold day by day until we settle into cool/cold weather.

Is this happening because the outdoor temps are close to the 74 degrees in the day and the 70 degrees overnight? If so, what do I need to adjust to account for this? The ecobee email mentioned AC Overcool but I really did not understand it.

Also even though I should be comfortable I feel "sweaty". If it matters we have a 12 year old Trane 4-ton, 17 SEER2 multi-speed AC with ComfortSeek™ inverter scroll compressor, 27.5" variable-speed fan.

Thanks for any help.
