Best for Apple Home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For someone who’s been in the Apple ecosystem since the very first iPhone was released in 2007, my smart house somehow ended up being all Google Nest products since they were pre wired into the new construction house and it really vexed me that despite working with Siri, it wasn’t as seamless of an integration as I wished it to be. Cue in Ecobee! The installation, scheduling and efficiency is parallel with the Google Nest Learning Thermostat an...

Sleek and so easy to use

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This has been such a great update for our house. It is so sleek, simple to use and was a breeze to install. I love that it’s touchscreen (last one was not) - making it so easy to use. My husband has used the app a few times and says it’s super handy to be able to monitor temperatures away. It also gives a head up if there are issues with heating/cooking etc which is handy. I feel like we’ve saved in our heating bills as we can choose the exact ...

Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential was super easy to install and works like a charm! I love that it can be used with my phone Alexa and Apple HomeKit! Louisiana weather has been super crazy lately, so you never know what temperature your house needs to be at and being able to control it from my bedroom or when I’m away from my house is amazing!

So easy to install and use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super impressed with my ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential so far! The installation was extremely easy, and took way less time than the suggested 45 minutes. The design of the thermostat itself is sleek, and fits in perfectly with my newly remodeled home. In fact, the old thermostat was the only thing that hadn't been touched during the remodel! So what a welcome change this was. My home does not have wifi yet, so I wasn't able to schedule throu...

Works with Alexa

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. Easy to install. Just turn off power to thermostat and change. Works great with my Alexa devices. I can be lazy! Lol. I can change temperature just by telling my devices. Great product.

Great intuitive, smart thermostat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Ecobee smart thermostat! I replaced my Google Home thermostat with Ecobee’s and I’m enjoying it so far. Before purchasing, make sure you verify it’s compatible with your home’s set up. It’s very quick and easy to install and it has an app where you can schedule temperatures and set up energy efficient modes to be more sustainable and cost efficient. Overall I highly recommend it!

Affordable entry level smart thermostat

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Coming from a nest gen 3 and also living in an apartment with just baseboard heat so needed a switch to create C wire it was easy to just swap this in and it just worked. I am a person who likes the fact this sends a notification when your away so you know it's in away mode my nest did not do this and you had to check the app. The only thing I didn't like was the install was a bit more tricky then the nest. My nest had a square plate adapter a...

Setup was really easy the app walked me through everything step by step, and the touchscreen interface is smooth and very intuitive. One of my favorite features is the built in Alexa.

Ecobee is saving me $$

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a friend help me with the installation of my Ecobee. I previously had the enhanced one. The essential is slightly smaller than the enhanced, but with very similar functionality. I like that I can use the ecobee app to control my homes temperature while I am away from home. The thermo even learns my schedule and adjusts to save money. The only downside is the occasional app issue

Great easy to use smart home thermostat

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Overall I have enjoyed using this smart thermostat. I didn’t realize at first but ecobee is part of a large home ecosystem and the app makes it helpful to combine not only thermostat but security. My smart home features such as my cameras I purchased after receiving the product plug right into the phone app so I have everything in one area. For the thermostat feature I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my power bill yet because I haven’t re...
