Heat Pump Tumble Dryer Fire Risk

We previously had an Ecobee nut needed a newer version when we went to heat pump.

This is my second ecobee thermostat. This one works great with my heat pump. I particularly like the eco + feature.

Does what it is supposd to. Doesn't catch fire like them darned dryer sheets! nuk nuk.

I thought my review would focus on the wax finish. A couple of reviews here have (heavily) marked the bag down for the waxy residue getting onto hands and gear, and warn you not to buy it if you go out in hot weather. I disagree. My F-3X Ruggedwear has been my main bag for nearly 6 years. I live in a hot dry climate in Australia, yet I have never had a problem with waxy residues getting onto me or my gear. I am not denying the experience of the two complainants, but their bags had excess wax, either from the factory or otherwise. This is easily removed (ironically, by ADDING heat), as described by another owner below: Rinse the bag with warm water, used a blow dryer to soften the wax and wipe off with a rag. The wax is stubborn and doesn't dissolve with solvents like oil does. The only thing that loosens the wax and makes it easier to wipe off is heat. A blow dryer would have worked just fine. After the wash, put it in the dryer on low heat with a towel. Remove it every 15 minutes or so and wipe it down with a rag. The wax comes off the warm bag easily. Generally the bag is an all-round winner. It holds a LOT of gear for its size, probably due to the minimalist padding. You will need to make other arrangements to carry a tripod, however.

Replaced a brand new unit from competition that claimed that it support Heat Pump but did not have lockout capability. Never buy a thermostat for a HP without capability to fine tune lock out. Would recommend making usage of the entire screen to show equipment running instead of having to go setting to see equipment running. The LCD has plenty of real estate for this. Ex: Heat 1 / Fan

The Nest Learning Thermostat does what it says and is easy to use. I love the history feature which explains how much heat pump is used versus propane. I got it for my lake house and with its simple app on my mobile I have total control.

I am installed product about 10 days ago. My heat pump has an emergency heat function and I had to figure out that the new thermostat did not have that. There was no problem problem installing it once I figured it out. I am very pleased with the product.

The whole experience with ecobee has been more than I expected. I needed a smart heat pump thermometer to monitor and control the house temperature; on-site and remotely. The ease of installation and integration of the camera along with the entry sensors at the front and back doors of the house allows me to have an overall sense of security. The wide-angle view and sense motion plus follow capabilities of the camera are of great value. Thanks for providing your overall capability to interpret the readings and provide notifications from different prospective.

I have an Ecobee3 which is almost the same as the Lite version and it's an awesome product. I control it both from the Android app and Home Assistant on a laptop running Lubuntu. Ecobee keeps improving the software and pushing updates which I really appreciate. There are tons of advanced settings that let me have complete control on my HVAC system. I run it with a 17 year old York heat pump and it was very easy to replace my original Robertshaw thermostat. The extra sensors can be usefull if you have temperature differences between the rooms in your house. The only problem I see with the Ecobee is that it won't support my future heat pump that will have an inverter or some other kind of variable power output. I hope Ecobee can work out something in the future to develop thermostats for modern HVAC systems that don't use a standard wiring.

I use this to strap my insulin pump.
