SETTING UP YOUR SMART THERMOSTAT This section of the manual describes how to set up and configure your Smart Thermostat using the touch screen. There are three key steps: Personalizing your Smart Thermostat. Set up Reminders. Program the thermostat using the Wizard or Editor. Personalizing your Smart Thermostat Preferences allow you to personalize the way your ecobee Smart Thermostat behaves and includes settings for how temperature, time and date display on the thermostat.
Quick Save Temperature Limits In Quick Save mode, your system will automatically increase (in cool mode) or decrease (in heat mode) the set temperature. Use this option to program the maximum temperature change allowed so your comfort is not compromised. The number you enter is the difference from the set temperature of the system before the Quick Save feature is activated. Setting up Reminders Your Smart Thermostat can be programmed to remind you of required filter changes and regular maintenance.
Programming your Smart Thermostat Depending on the time of day, and the day of the week, you need flexibility for the heating and cooling settings in your home. For example, if there’s no one in the house during the workday you might want to let the temperature go up in the summer, to reduce energy used by the air conditioning system, and go down in the winter, to reduce energy used by the furnace. Your Smart Thermostat is flexible – you can program four different time periods per day, seven days a week.
UNDERSTANDING ALERTS From time to time your ecobee system will display an alert. For example, the alert might be a reminder to change the furnace filter, or perform regular maintenance. Compressor Protection The system prevented you from turning on your compressor when the outside temperature was too low. Comms fault There is no communication between t he Smart Thermostat and the Equipment Interface module. Low Temp. Alert The temperature in the home is too low.
USING YOUR SMART THERMOSTAT The bright, easy-to-read and easy-to-use touch screen interface on your Smart Thermostat makes it easy to review and adjust the settings any time you want. Adjusting temperature To adjust the temperature: 68° Use your finger to press and move the set temperature slider left or right until the value in the magnifying lens displays the temperature you want. (tapping either end of the temperature scale will move the slider by 1° (0.5’ C).
Ventilator Max If your system is equipped with a ventilation system, you can manually switch the ventilator to the maximum setting directly from your Smart Thermostat. After you select this item, the ventilator switches into the maximum mode for a pre-programmed period of time. The ventilator then switches back to its normal operating state. In either mode, the Smart Thermostat will ensure that when your vacation ends the thermostat will revert to the regular settings.
