T5 Wifi Thermostat Is For Heat Pump

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

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.

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

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

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.

My wife the dial twiddler would always set our thermostat too high as she thought it would heat up faster if if done that way eg. Accelerator on a car. This unit with the help of Alexa listens to her and never over heats the house.

Switching from another major smart thermostat, it is a trade between aesthetic and functionality. Ecobee has so many options allowing me to tweak every aspect of a heat pump + aux heat system. I really hope ecobee allows me to customize the stand by screen like the competitor.

I've been wanting a smart thermostat since we moved into our home earlier this year. When winter rolled in and the heat had to be turned on, I could no longer do without it. My house was built in 1926 and still has steam heat with radiators in all the rooms - which I love - but we get crazy temperature variances from room to room and floor to floor (4 levels, leaky leaded glass windows, who knows the status of the insulation - you get the idea). I found myself adjusting the thermostat (or forgetting to) several times a day - in the morning, in the afternoon, after dinner and before bed and with a different schedule/temps on the weekend just to be comfortable as we move to different areas of the house. The ecobee not only allows me to set the schedule with the desired temps on a day by day basis, but it also has the additional sensors so that I can tell it to ignore one sensor and focus on another or to average the temp across 2 or more areas. This means that when it's time for bed, I can tell it to keep my bedroom at the temp that's comfortable and not worry about the rest of the house. Given that when my living room is 70 degrees (which is where the old thermostat was) my bedroom could be as warm as 78 degrees, this is a really nice feature. I haven't had enough time to see what it's going to do to our energy bills, but I have to believe it's going to save us money. Even if it doesn't, I'm a lot more comfortable and spending less time wondering if I forgot to adjust the temperature. Install was pretty easy, but we did have to run a new wire from the boiler. Because our system is old, we don't get to take advantage of all the features, but the ones we do use are well worth it. We'll be getting a second one for the air conditioner in the spring. I don't want to go through another summer without the extra sensors. Thanks to ecobee, I don't have to!
