Turn Off Recovery Mode Honeywell Wifi Thermostat

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.

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.

Had an old Honeywell thermostat that came with the home built in 2003. Couldn't tell exact temperature. Wanted s smart thermostat that I could adjust while I was away to save energy. Purchased through my utility company and got a great deal and free install!

Really glad made the decision and replaced my 3 month old Honeywell thermostat thought it was same expensive

[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!

I bought two of these for two different older Win10 computers with spinning hard drives that were degrading, making the computers very slow. First was my wife's nearly 9 year old laptop. First attempt at cloning drive failed because the computer shut itself off during the process. Be sure to go into power settings and disable automatic shutdown or sleep mode. Once I did that the cloning succeeded. Second PC was a desktop with a 250GB spinning drive. The SSD is 1 TB. Using the cloning wizard, it wanted to create a 217 GB Windows partition (same size as it was on the spinning drive) and it wanted to blow up the recovery partition to well over 700 GB. Well, that's stupid! It should have kept the recovery partition the same size and increased the Windows partition as much as possible. So I halted the cloning and restarted it in manual mode, which allows changing the partition sizes. In manual mode the cloning software made the correct suggestion: it kept the recovery partition and two small mysterious partitions the same sizes that they were on the hard drive, and it increased the Windows partition to 871 GB. So I accepted those sizes and did the cloning. Why couldn't the wizard have figured that out? Bottom line - pay attention during the cloning process to make sure the wizard isn't doing something dumb. Both computers are now running much faster than before. My wife is delighted with her new laptop. She says it is now super-fast. B&H sale price was great with free two day delivery.

It’s cool I don’t always want to use Guardian mode and idk how to turn it off other then that it’s cool

Comes with recovery software too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have another brand thermostat at my house. It has an app and works with Alexa, but loses connection a lot. We installed the EcoBee at our family lake house because we didn't have a smart thermostat. It really changed the game. This thermostat has great connectivity to the app, as well as a vacation mode. This means no more arriving and waiting for the house to cool down. Also, it will help you not let the AC run after you leave, so long as you set the vacation mode. Highly recommend!

It has totally learned what temperature we like at what time. Add to that the home and away mode and you really do have the perfect smart thermostat. Top marks- I'd buy this again tomorrow if I needed a thermostat for another house.
