Honeywell Wifi Thermostat Vs Ecobee

The Ecobee was recommended to me by the HVAC guy I had come out to remove the Honeywell thermostat I had installed. Turns out it was defective. The HVAC guy could tell I didn't know much about installing thermostats so he recommended Ecobee. It was also the least expensive of the newer "smart" products. I had no trouble at all putting in the Ecobee and getting it to work. And I love being able to adjust the setting with my phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always saw ads for the ecobee smart thermostat but we had a Honeywell lyric so I was hesitant to try this. We love the recyclable packaging the product came in. It was super easy to install. The design is very sleek and I like the display and I love the eco+ and the smart home and away feature to help save money! We’ve only been using the for a few weeks but so far we are happy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Ecobee thermostat for years (EMS Si WiFi generation) and the WiFi disconnects every so often so it was kind of an inconvenience. But now that I received the new and improved, I’m so happy with it, it’s looks so much prettier and I still get to use the app to control it!

Had a Ecobee thermostat since 2016 and great one to have…

This is my second ecobee Smart Thermostat.Great product.

I’ve had my ecobee thermostat for about 3 months. Love it.

I love the Ecobee, and definitely recommend it. It's way more accurate than my old Honeywell. The external sensors help keep the temperature even through out the main floor. It wasn't exactly plug and play for me as my boiler/radiant floor heating system didn't have a C-wire to tap into. I Googled myself and used their tech support for installation advice. After figuring out the wiring challenges with a work around done (took me 2hrs) to have my Ecobee up and running. So it could be an easy to advanced difficulty DIY project depending on your heating/cooling system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Here is the thing, Honeywell app always crashes. I received this ecobee thermostat and was so happy. I was scared to do the install myself so I hired someone that knew about AC well worth it. The look is so sleek and pretty. Will be buying sensors because I think that’s such a cool feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from @Influenster and @Ecobee exenge my honest review. My Five Favorite Features 1.The ecobee comes with a remote temperature and occupancy sensor. My ecobee reads the temperature in the living room where I sit and ignores the temperature in the hall where the thermostat is. 2. The design of the ecobee touch screen is elegant. A dark rounded square screen displays the room temperature in large numbers along with the time of day, outdoor temperature, and a weather icon. When you walk up to the ecobee it comes alive and displays a slide for the setpoint and icons for quick Home/Away, detailed weather, voice control, and menus. 3. My six networked ecobees can be monitored and adjusted from an app or a web portal. 4. Ecobee lets you display helpful graphs of, for example, room temperature over time along with setpoint, outdoor temperature, and an indication of when the thermostat was calling for heat. See pictures at the end of this post. 5. Voice control is more useful than expected. I don’t have to be in a room to change the temperature. I just say “Hey Google, warm up the Master Bedroom” from anywhere. One complaint is that the slide for the setpoint never seems to wind up where I’m aiming.

Bought this in Oct 2018, to replace a standard Honeywell 24/7 programable thermostat and found this very simple to install and use. I emailed support a picture of current wiring and they came back 2 days later with the recommendation for the wiring. Within 10 minutes it was up and running. I use the geo fencing feature and it have learned my setting preferences to provide energy savings.
