Would RecommendVery happy with the product. I am able to control the system remotely from my phone. Installation was straightforward even with having to install the power extender.

Good and cheap smart thermostats
Would RecommendGood cheap units if you want smart capabilities without some of the advanced features. Great for commercial environments over the premium models. Looks are lacking but it functions, espeically if you have smart sensors.

Easy To Use Ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential
Would RecommendReceived and installed the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential 3 weeks ago. Easy to install, setup, and program. I did need to also purchase an Ecobee trim plate as the new thermostat was smaller than the Honeywell thermostat it replaced. That worked perfectly. So far, the Ecobee thermostat is working very well. Much easier to read than my old thermostat. I had to wear reading glasses to read our old one.

Works Intermittently
I’ve had the product for 4 months. When power goes out temporarily, the unit does not reboot. Removing the thermostat from the backing plate and reinstalling reboots the unit sometimes. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times before the unit begins to reboot.

Easy to set up and use
Would RecommendBeen using the ecobee premium and economy for about a month now. They seem to be very reliable and easy to use. The set up was quick and easy, although it took a bit to get the right schedule and of course it is still in the learning mode, trying to figure out our habits. Works for a dual zone system without any issues which is great cannot speak to the energy savings at this point in time as we’ve not received a utility bill, but hopefully we will see some. As well using the app to change the t...

User friendly thermostat
Would RecommendEcobee Thermostat is an exceedingly well-thought-out user-friendly thermostat. Self-install was simple: the app guided the self-install and set-up process step by step from removal of the old thermostat, ensuring we had the right wiring and parts, instructions on how to obtain additional parts and work-arounds if we needed them, to wiring, right-sized drill bits, and finally wifi-connection. The app itself is intuitive and simple while accomplishing everything it needs to to control the thermos...

App Leaves Something to be Desired.
Would Not RecommendWe've now had the Ecobee Essential for 3 months. It's ok, but the app leaves something to be desired. The schedule format is clunky compared to other apps, making it difficult to view an entire day or week at a time. Adjustments have to be made individually or copied rather than make changes to multiple days or time periods simultaneously. There's also no way to build multiple schedules, for instance when the seasons change and I want to save settings from previous seasons or years. This makes i...

Garbage App
Would Not RecommendYou cannot schedule this thing the same way as other smart thermostats. Total waste of time and money.
Ease of use
Would RecommendI am very pleased with ease of use, thermostat could be set at 80 degrees as I leave in mobile home, this is done by electric company, mobile homes not insulated like normal homes!

Phenomenal installation support
Would RecommendJust installed an ECOBEE ESSENTIAL smart thermostat. My wife insisted a that we call a contractor. I never listen to her. And THIS TIME I was right. 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 ...

Easy To Use
This is the 2nd Ecobee thermostat that we have purchased. We recently moved and needed to replace the existing old Lennox thermostat. Easy to install and setup. Works great.
