GETTING
STARTED
The Smart Thermostat uses touch screen tech-
nology that makes navigation easy. Apply light
pressure with your nger to the icons, buttons
and lists or drag you nger across the screen to
slide a slider or scroll through a list.
Note: To prevent damage to the touch screen, never use a
sharp object such as a pen, to press the icons, buttons and
lists.
When the screen shows a list of items, an arrow to the
right indicates more than two options to choose from.
Touching this type of list will bring you to a new list or
screen. If there are only two options for a given list entry,
those options will be displayed next to a switch within the
list. Pressing anywhere on the item will toggle from one
option to the other.
In the various screens on the thermostat, you have three
ways to navigate.
Press Cancel to go back to the previous screen
without saving changes.
Press Done to save changes and move to the next screen.
At any time press the ecobee button (found at the right-
hand side of the unit). This cancels any action and takes
you back to the home screen.
What’s on the Home Screen?
The Home Screen displays the current temperature in your home,
various heating and cooling settings, and icons for navigating to
other features and settings of the thermostat.
The Home Screen is the default display on your Smart Thermostat
USING THE
TOUCH SCREEN
Set temperature
The set temperature is the temperature the system is programmed
to maintain. You can adjust it manually, but for maximum savings
you should automate the temperature setting by programming the
thermostat. See Programming Your Smart Thermostat on page15.
Set Temperature Adjustment Slider
Using your nger, drag the slider back and forth to manually lower
or raise your set temperature. Tapping at either end of the tempera-
ture scale will move the slider by 1°F (0.5°C). When you manually ad-
just the set temperature you will put the system into a Hold mode.
See Holding Action on page 12.
Current Temperature
This is the temperature in the room where the Smart Thermostat is
installed. The thermostat sends signals to your heating and cooling
system to make sure this temperature matches the set temperature
on the thermostat. You can set the Smart Thermostat in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
System and Fan Settings
Displays the mode your heating and cooling system is currently
running in, as well as the furnace fan setting. Press Details to adjust
these settings.
Wi Signal strength indicator
Indicates the strength of the signal the Smart Thermostat is receiv-
ing from your Wi router. You must have Wi enabled for the indica-
tor to work.
Current Date and Time
Displays the current date and time for your time zone.

installed or whether you need to replace rather than
clean your lters, please contact your heating and cooling
technician, or consult your original heating and cooling
equipment manuals for the recommended maintenance
procedures.
Maintenance

Programming your Smart Thermostat
Depending on the time of day, and the day of the week, you need
exibility 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 exible – you can program four dierent
time periods per day, seven days a week. Each period is representing
by a unique icon. These icons can be found on various screen on the
Smart Thermostat as well as on your personalized web portal.
Awake- this represents the period when you are awake.
The start time of this period is typically when you get up
in the morning.
Work- this represents the period when you are at work and
the home is not occupied. The start time of this period is
typically when you leave to go to work.
Home- this represents the period when you are home. The
start time of this period is typically when you get home
from work in the evening.
Sleep- this represent the period when you are sleeping.
The start time of this period is when you go to bed at night.
We call it a Smart Thermostat because it learns how your home
and heating and cooling equipment perform. This means you can
be sure that your home is at the temperature you want, when you
want it, without wasting energy.
And when your schedule changes, you can quickly and easily up-
date the thermostat setting directly on the device itself or online
through your personalized web portal.
Your Smart Thermostat comes pre-programmed with EnergyStar
recommended settings. These settings can save you up to 33% on
your heating and cooling energy costs when compared to a non-
programmable thermostat.
If your preferences are dierent than the recommended settings,
you can easily adjust the time periods and temperatures of your
system. There are two ways to program the Smart Thermostat:
Use the Wizard that guides you through the steps
Use the more advanced Editor feature.
Using the Program Wizard
The Smart Thermostat Wizard takes you step-by-
step through a series of questions about when your
awake,, go to work, come homeand go to sleep. You’ll
then set appropriate temperatures for each of those
time periods.
Note: If your Smart Thermostat is in Hold mode, you
must press Resume in order to get to the wizard.
Note: The Smart Thermostat will not ask you what
temperature you want in your home during work
hours. Instead, it automatically sets this value to
minimize your energy consumption, while ensuring
the room temperature reaches the desired tempera-
ture when you come home. If you prefer to set this
temperature manually, use the Editor (see page XX).
If you want to change anything, you can either run
the Wizard again, or press Editor to make specic
changes (see Using the Editor below).
Using the Editor
The second way to edit your Smart Thermostat’s
program is to use the Editor. This method is more
advanced than the Wizard you can edit specic times
and temperatures, as well as furnace fan settings for
each day of the week.
Note: The Heat Set temperature turns the furnace on
and the Cool Set temperature turns the air condition-
er on. Setting a lower Heat temperature saves energy
in the winter, and setting a higher Cool temperature
saves energy in the summer.
You can also program the fan setting for
both Heat mode and Cool mode.
Select ON to run the fan continuously.
Select Auto to run the fan only when the heating,
cooling or ventilation equipment is running or to
satisfy the minimum fan on time as programmed by
your technician during the installation.
Note: Humidity levels are not included as a program-
mable option, even if a humidier or dehumidier is
installed and controlled by the Smart Thermostat.
To use the Wizard:
From the Home Screen,
press Program.
Press Wizard in the upper
right corner of the screen.
Answer each Wizard
question to best t your
daily rountine.
Press Next to go to the
next question.
When the congratulations
screen appears press Done.

To use the Editor:
From the Home Screen,
press Program.
Press Editor in the upper
left corner of the screen.
Select the days you wish
to adjust ( selecting more
than one day will change
settings for all selectd) and
press Next.
Adjust temperatue by
pressing the heat or cool
buttons on the right
hand side.
When the congratulations
screen appears press Done.

From time to time your ecobee system will
display an alert. For example, the alert might
be a reminder to change the furnace lter, or
perform regular maintenance.
As well, if you have a ood sensor installed in your house, the
system can alert you when water is detected, potentially sav-
ing you thousands of dollars from damage due to ooding.
If you have enabled the Internet connection to your Smart
Thermostat, these alerts can also be sent to you via e-mail.
When an alert displays, you can dismiss it or ask to be reminded
again later.
If you receive a furnace lter alert, for example, and choose Remind
me later, the alert will clear and then display again 24 hours later.
If you choose Dismiss when the alert displays, it will not redisplay
until the next time period for a lter change.
If your heating and cooling technician provided contact
information during installation (such as company name and
phone number), the alert will display this information.
