App Leaves Something to be Desired.

Would Not Recommend

We've now had the Ecobee Essential for 3 months. It's ok, but the app leaves something to be desired.

I needed to use the COBEE CHAT support because I was going from a battery powered unit to the "C" wire installation. The chat support was phenomenal. Even when it timed out (my fault) I was able to log right back in and the new tech could see everything that the first guy and I had done. If the thermostat works as well as the support I will be ...
