PERFORMING A
HARDWARE RESET
In rare circumstances, static electricity or power surges may interrupt 
the operation of the Smart Thermostat or Equipment Interface, forc-
ing a hardware reset. 
Resetting the Smart Thermostat
You can reset the Smart Thermostat by pressing the hardware reset 
button, located through an opening in the top left corner of the 
thermostat, as shown below.
Pressing the hardware reset button will not alter programming or 
conguration options.
Resetting the Equipment Interface
To reset the Equipment Interface, rst remove the front cover to 
expose the reset switch (see below).
Press the button to reset the relays to their inactive state. They will 
turn on AFTER after the Smart Thermostat resends the required com-
mands. This may take up to two minutes.

Temperature Alerts
The Smart Thermostat can generate alerts when the temperature in 
the home reaches a pre-programmed level. This protects the home 
from damage due to freezing and/or excessive heat.
If you program this option, an alert will display on the thermostat. If the 
user has an account on www.ecobee.com, an e-mail can be sent.
Low Temperature Alert - Select this item to set the temperature at 
which the Smart Thermostat will generate a Low Temperature Alert. 
The range can be:
O – no alert will be generated
Set temperature range of 40 – 60°F (4.5 – 15.5°C)
The default setting is 50°F (10°C).
High Temperature Alert - Select this item to set the temperature at 
which the Smart Thermostat will generate a High Temperature Alert 
message. The range can be:
O – no alert will be generated
Set temperature range of 90 – 100°F (32 – 35°C).
The default setting is O.

devices (such as a furnace, air conditioner, humidier, dehumidier, or 
ventilator) that are connected to the Equipment Interface.
Installation Wizard
The Installation Wizard takes you step-by-step through a series of 
choices regarding the heating and cooling equipment intended to 
be connected to the Equipment Interface. Simply make the selec-
tions when prompted on the screen and press Next to advance to 
the next screen. Once completed you will be shown a diagram of the 
wiring connections as determined by the choices made during this 
wizard. You can press Back to go back and make any changes. Once 
you are satised with the setup press Done.
Equipment
In addition to the Installation Wizard, the equipment setting will 
allow you to manually congure the various devices that are 
connected to the Equipment Interface. 
Heat Pump 
Enables and congures the system for a heat pump, for either 1
 or 2  stages. 
O/B Energize on Cool if Yes, the reversing valve output (O/B terminal) 
will activate when there is a call for cooling. If you select NO, the relay 
will energize when there is call for heat.
Furnace

navigate – just tap the icons, buttons and lists.
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 setting an arrow on the right indicates 
more than two options to choose from. 
If there is no arrow, then the list item only has two options. Toggle 
between options by pressing the list item.
In the various screens, you have three navigation choices:
Press Done to save changes and move to the next screen.
Press Cancel to go back to the previous screen without
saving changes.
At any time press the ecobee button to cancel any action and return 
to the home screen

LED On  Power is connected to the Equipment Interface and is    
 within the appropriate voltage range.
LED O  Power is disconnected or has dropped below 9V.
System
This LED monitors the operation of the Equipment Interface and
the connection between the W and Y terminals to their respective 
connections on the heating and cooling control board.
LED On  There is a fault with the Equipment Interface or the 
  wiring to the heating or cooling equipment.
LED O  The equipment is operational and there is connection
  to the heat and/or cool relay outputs (W or Y).
Line
This LED monitors the power supplied to the Smart Thermostat from 
the Equipment Interface.
LED ON  The voltage at the +12V and GND terminal has 
  dropped below 7V.
LED O  Adequate power is being supplied to the 
  Smart Thermostat.
Communications
This LED monitors the communications between the Smart Thermostat 
and the Equipment Interface (i.e., the D+ and D- terminals).
LED On  The Equipment Interface and Smart Thermostat are 
  not communicating to each other.
LED O   The two devices are communicating properly.
18

Connecting power 
Once you’ve completed the wiring of the Smart Thermostat 
and Equipment Interface, you can apply power to the Equipment 
Interface and restore power to the heating and air conditioning 
equipment. 
To power up the ecobee Smart Thermostat and Equipment interface 
system, plug the power supply into a standard electrical outlet and 
plug the barrel connector into the Equipment Interface.
Equipment Interface Status LED
The Equipment Interface has four LEDs to display the status

Place the back of the enclosure on the intended mounting surface 
and use it as a template to mark the location of the mounting 
holes, as shown below. 
Move the back of the enclosure out of the way and make the holes 
where indicated in step 3. The mounting holes can accommodate 
a #6 pan-head screw.
Use drywall plugs or other screw anchors (not included) to 
ensure the Equipment Interface can be mounted securely on the 
intended surface.
Fasten the backplate to the wall using the appropriate screws 
(not included). 
Wiring the Equipment Interface
To wire the Equipment Interface:
Disconnect the power to the heating and air conditioning equipment.
Disconnect the wires going to the existing thermostat.
Using the wiring diagrams below, connect the heating or air 
conditioning equipment to the Equipment Interface.
Do not apply power until you have installed and connected the 
Smart Thermostat. (see instructions below)
Do not install the front cover on the Equipment Interface at this point.

Connecting the Smart Thermostat to 
the Equipment Interface
Only four wires are required to connect the Smart Thermostat to the 
Equipment Interface. If you are replacing a thermostat, you can use 
the existing wiring. 
Note: Ensure that any unused wires do not have exposed bare copper.
Follow these steps to connect the thermostat to the 
Equipment Interface:
Connect the wires between the Smart Thermostat and
Equipment Interface as shown below.
Once wiring is complete, insert the coin cell battery (included) into 
the holder. Ensure the (+) side of the battery is facing up. 
Attach the front cover of the Smart Thermostat to the backplate. 
Ensure the four pins on the circuit board mate with the terminal 
block on the backplate as shown below. 
If you haven’t already done so, replace the front cover of the 
Equipment Interface.

Using the backplate as a template, mark the location of the mount-
ing holes on the wall as shown below.
Move the backplate out of the way and make holes where indicated in 
step 3. The mounting holes can accommodate a #6 pan-head screw.
Use drywall plugs or other screw anchors (not included) to ensure 
that the thermostat can be mounted securely to the wall.
