GETTING STARTED
Welcome
The ecobee Energy Management System Si (EMS 
Si) is the newest technology designed for the 
commercial market. It is ideal in applications 
where a simple programmable Thermostat does 
not provide adequate controls and functionality 
and a full-scale building automation system is 
too complex and cost prohibitive. The ecobee 
EMS Si is user-friendly, reduces a building’s 
operating costs, and delivers increased energy 
conservation.
From their EMS Web Portal, users can remotely 
monitor, identify, analyze and troubleshoot 
performance issues; manage the temperature 
and operational settings from a central location; 
and take action without having to send a 
technician on-site.
The ecobee EMS Si can maximize any building’s 
eciency, reduce energy consumption and 
deliver signicant cost savings

CONFIGURING THE HVAC 
SETTINGS
The rst step after installing the EMS Si is to 
congure the settings for the various devices 
(such as a furnace or air conditioner) that are 
being connected.
Equipment
The Equipment settings let you congure the 
devices connected to the thermostat. 
Heat Pump 
This section lets you congure a heat pump with 
up to 2 heat/2 cool stages plus an auxiliary heat 
source. 
   Geothermal heat pump  Select Yes if you are 
using a geothermal heat pump. This helps the 
thermostat determine optimum performance 
and default settings. If you select No, the 
system will optimize the settings for an air-to-
air heat pump.
   OB energize on cool  If you choose Yes, the 
reversing valve output (O/B terminal) will 
activate when there is a call for cooling. If you 
select No, the relay will activate when there is 
call for heat.
   Min Cycle O Time  Congures the minimum 
compressor o time between cycles (240 to 
900 seconds). 
   Min Outdoor Temp  Disables the compressor 
when the outside air temperature reaches the 
congured minimum setting. This performs 
two functions. It prevents the compressor

from running when the outdoor temperature 
is too low, thus resulting in damage to the 
compressor. You can also set this value to 
determine when you want the auxiliary heat 
(if installed) to engage to help meet the 
set temperature. The temperature range is 
adjustable from 0 to 65 °F (–17.8 to 18.3 °C) or 
can be completely disabled. Note: You need 
an internet connection for this feature to 
operate properly.
   Allow HP with Aux Heat  If you select Yes 
and there is a source of auxiliary heat, it will 
turn on in addition to the heat pump. The 
heat pump will be energized for the rst 30 
minutes. If, after 30 minutes, the set point 
has not been met, the auxiliary heat will be 
energized to assist the heat pump in meeting 
the load.
If you select No, the heat pump will be 
energized for up to 2 hours. If after 2 hours the 
set point has not been met, the thermostat 
will shutdown the heat pump and energize 
the auxiliary heat to meet the set point. This 
option should also be used for installation 
where the heat pump evaporator coil is 
upstream from the source of auxiliary heat.
This setting is only available the Comp to 
Aux Temp Delta and Comp to Aux Runtime 
settings are both set to Auto (default)
22

Furnace
Allows you to enable and congure up to a 
2-stage conventional heat source. If you have 
selected a heat pump as your primary source, 
this feature allows you to congure the 1st stage 
of auxiliary heat connected to the system. 
   Furnace Type  Allows you to congure the 
type of furnace. This helps the thermostat 
optimize its algorithms based on the type 
of fuel and typical characteristics of the 
chosen system. Choose the option that 
best represents the type of heating system 
installed.
   Heat Fan Control  Congures the furnace fan 
to be controlled by the EMS Si or the HVAC 
system during heat cycles. Normally the HVAC 
system controls the fan during heat cycles.
Air Conditioner
Congures up to 2 stages of air conditioning. If 
you require a second stage, you must enable the 
Y2 relay.
23
Thresholds
This section congures the temperature and 
time thresholds associated with the heating and 
cooling equipment. 
You must congure the Equipment settings 
(page 10) before setting the thresholds. Only the 
applicable threshold settings will be displayed 
(i.e. if no air conditioner is congured, you will 
not see the options related to air conditioners).
Allow Auto Heat/Cool
Enabling this option allows the user to select 
auto change-over as a system mode.
Heat/Cool Min Delta
The minimum dierence between the heat 
mode set temperature and the cool mode set 
temperature when the system mode is in auto 
change-over. The delta is adjustable from 2 to 10 
°F (1.1 to 5.5 °C). The default value is 5 °F (2.8 °C).
Compressor Settings
Min Cycle O Time  Congures the 
compressor o time between cycles. This 
ensures the compressor does not short cycle 
(which could aect the operating life of the 
system). This time is adjustable from 240–900 
seconds. 
Min Outdoor Temp  Congures the minimum 
outside air temperature at which the 
compressor will be disabled. This performs 
two functions. It prevents the compressor 
from running when the outdoor temperature 
is too low, thus resulting in damage to the 
compressor. You can also set this value to 
determine when you want the auxiliary heat

(if installed) to engage to help meet the 
set temperature. The temperature range is 
adjustable from 0 to 65 °F (–17.8 to 18.3 °C) or 
can be completely disabled. Note: You need 
an internet connection for this feature to 
operate properly.
Aux Heat Settings
Max Outdoor Temperature Congures the 
maximum outdoor temperature threshold. 
Above this level, the auxiliary heat will not 
be activated. The temperature is adjustable 
from 0 to 80 °F (26.5 °C) in increments of 0.5°F 
(0.5°C). The default value is 70°F (21°C).
Common Heat/Cool Settings
Heat Dierential Temp  The minimum 
dierence between the current temperature 
and set temperature before the system calls 
for heat. A smaller dierence means shorter 
cycle times, whereas a larger dierence results 
in longer cycle times. The temperature range 
is adjustable form 0 to 3 °F (-17.5 to 26.5 °C) in 
0.5°F (0.5°C) increments.
Heat Dissipation Time  The amount of time 
the fan will run after the heat set point has 
been reached and the call for heat has been 
turned o. Running the fan for a period of 
time allows for any heated air left in the ducts 
to circulate throughout the home. The time is 
adjustable from 0 to 900 seconds. The default 
value is 30 seconds.
Cool Dierential Temp  The minimum 
dierence between the current temperature 
and set temperature before the system calls 
for cool. A smaller dierence means shorter 
cycle times, whereas a larger dierence results 
25

in longer cycle times. The temperature range 
is adjustable from 0 to 3 °F (0.3 to 1.7 °C) in 
0.5°F (0.3°C) increments.
Cool Dissipation Time  The amount of time 
the fan will run after the cool has been turned 
o. Running the fan for a period of time allows 
for any cooled air left in the ducts to circulate 
throughout the home. The time is adjustable 
from 0 to 900 seconds. The default value is 30 
seconds.
Advanced Settings
These options customize how long each stage 
will run before the next stage turns on. You may 
also program when a particular stage is turned 
on based on the temperature delta between the 
set temperature and the current temperature.
   Reverse Staging If enabled, the thermostat 
will cycle down from the higher stages so 
that as it approaches set point it will only be 
running in stage 1. The HVAC equipment will 
start in stage 1. As the stage 1 temperature 
delta is exceeded, the second stage will 
engage. Once the equipment has brought 
the current temperature back to within the 
heat or cool dierential setting, stage 2 will 
disengage and stage 1 will remain running 
until the set point is meet. 
   Stage 2 Temp Delta  The minimum dierence 
between the current temperature and the set 
temperature that will activate the auxiliary 
heat (regardless if the maximum run time of 
the previous stage was reached). Options are 
Auto (default) and 1 to 10 °F (0.6 to 5.6 °C). 
   Stage 1 Max Runtime  The maximum amount 
of time stage 1 will run before engaging the 
26

next stage. Options are Auto (default) and 10 
to 120 minutes.
   Comp to Aux Temp Delta The maximum 
amount of time this stage will run before 
engaging the next stage. Options are Auto 
(default) and 1 to 10 °F (0.6 to 5.6 °C).
   Comp to Aux Runtime The minimum 
dierence between the current temperature 
and the set temperature that will activate this 
stage (regardless if the maximum run time of 
the previous stage was reached). Options are 
Auto (default), Disabled, and 1 to 10 °F (0.6 to 
5.6°C).
   Cool Min On Time  Sets the minimum 
equipment run time in cool mode: 1 to 20 min 
(default is 5 min).
   Heat Min On Time  Sets the minimum 
equipment run time in heat mode: 1 to 20 min 
(default is 5 min).
Temp Correction
Lets you program an oset between the real 
temperature at thermostat and the displayed 
temperature. If you nd that the temperature 
where the thermostat is located does not 
represent the room temperature, change the 
oset to compensate for the dierence. The 
correct temperature is adjustable from +/- 10°F 
in 0.5°F (0.3°C) increments.
Installer Code
To prevent accidental modications to the 
installation settings, you can enable a 4-digit 
installer code. This code is pre-programmed to 
3262.

AUTOMATION
The EMS Si can be configured to perform actions 
based on the status of its 2 dry contact inputs or 
remote temperature sensors when configured 
for monitoring purposes.
You can have multiple actions per input. You 
can also have the same input perform dierent 
actions when it is open or closed. For example, if 
a window sensor is open, you can congure the 
system to adjust the temperature set point and 
disable the AC. 
Setting Up the Sensor Inputs
The EMS Si system supports 2 dry contact inputs 
and/or temperature sensors (R1 and R2). In order 
to use them, you need to ensure they are 
correctly configured.
Name
To enable, simply enter a name for this input (i.e. 
Door sensor). To disable this input, delete the 
name.
Type
Defines the type of input (Dry Contacts and 
remote temperature sensors are supported in 
this version).
Actions...
Lets you to view the current state and edit action 
options for a sensor. To add a new action, select 
Add New Action.
   State  Congure if the circuit (contact) is Open 
or Closed.
   Type  Select the action to perform from the 
list:
To congure sensors and 
automation
From the Home screen,  
press MENU.
Select Settings ▶ 
Installation Settings.
Select Sensors.
Select the dry contact you 
want to view or edit.
Congure the sensor 
settings as required. 
To create a new action, 
select Add New Action.
33

   Do Nothing No specic action will occur.
   Switch to Occupied* Switches the system 
to the Occupied program when the input 
is activated.
   Switch to Unoccupied* Switches the 
system to the Unoccupied program when 
the input is activated.
* The Economizer and/or Occupancy relay 
outputs, if congured, will also be switched 
to the appropriate state when this input is 
congured and activated.
   Shutdown Compressor The compressor 
(both for AC or Heat pump) will shutdown 
and remain shutdown until this input is 
cleared
   Shut down AC The air conditioning system 
will shutdown and will remain shutdown 
until this input has cleared
   Adjust Temperature The heat and/
or cool set points will be adjusted by a 
preprogrammed amount. It will revert back 
to the original set point when the input has 
cleared.
   Turn On Fan The fan will be set to On. It 
will revert back to its original settings when 
the input is cleared.
   Disable Auxiliary Heat The auxiliary heat 
equipment will be disabled. It will be re-
enabled when the input is cleared.
   Shutdown All HVAC All equipment will be 
disabled. It will be re-enabled when the 
input is cleared.
   Disable All Heat All heat equipment will 
be disabled. It wil be re-enabled when the 
34

input is cleared.
   Send Alert Enables the system to send an 
alert when the input has been activated.
   Send Update Log Enables the system to log 
when this input is activated.
   Activation Delay Congures time delay from 
when the input detects the active state to 
when the action programmed in the Type 
section is performed by the system. For 
example, if you connect a door sensor to the 
input and program a 5 minute activation 
delay, the door will need to open and remain 
open for 5 minutes before the thermostat 
takes action.
   Deactivation Delay Congures a time delay 
from when the input detects the inactive 
state to when the system reverts back to its 
normal operating conditions. For example, if 
you connect a door sensor to the input and 
program a 5-minute deactivation delay. The 
door will remain closed for 5 minutes before 
the thermostat will revert back to the normal 
operating condition.
   Min Action Duration Congures the 
minimum amount of time the system will 
perform this action. This timer will run its 
course regardless of whether the input has 
reverted back to its normal state and the 
deactivation timer has expired. This option 
is useful for applications where you want 
to run a device (i.e., fan or compressor) for 
a minimum amount of time after the input 
has been activated rather then using the 
deactivation delay. This ensures the fan or 
motor does not short cycle.
35

If Adjust Temperature is chosen as the Type 
you will also be presented with the following 
options:
   Decrease Heat Temp Allows you to program 
the number of degrees that the heat set 
temperature will be adjusted by once an 
input has been activated. A positive number 
increases the heat set point and a negative 
number decreases the heat set point
   Increase Cool Temp Allows you to program 
the number of degrees that the cool set 
temperature will be adjusted by once an 
input has been activated. A positive number 
increases the cool set point and a negative 
number decreases the cool set point.
In both cases this oset will apply to the 
set point temperature at the time of the 
activation of the input. As the system 
switches between program periods (i.e., 
occupied, unoccupied, etc) this oset will 
be maintained. Once the input has been 
switched back to the inactive state the set 
temperature will revert back to the normal 
limits.
   Delete this Action  Removes the congured 
action.
36

CONNECTING TO THE 
INTERNET

(thus creating a peak power demand). Press ▲ 
or ▼ to select a delay time and then press OK.
Utility CPP Setting
This section is only applicable if your utility 
company is running a Critical Peak Pricing 
program that you have agreed to be a part of. 
Contact your local electrical utility company for 
information about programs in your area.
49

CPP Response
Your utility may send voluntary events to your 
EMS Si. You can choose to Always Accept these 
events. In which case, you would just be notied 
that an event is in progress. Or if you choose Ask 
Me, when the Utility issues an event, you will be 
asked if you want to participate.
If you do not acknowledge the event prior to the 
start, the system will default to yes. 
Preferred Strategy
During a Critical Peak Pricing event the Utility 
may select an energy saving strategy, or allow 
you to use your preferred strategy.  Select from 
one of the options as your preferred energy 
saving strategy to be used during Critical Peal 
Pricing events.
   Absolute Temperature   Set a specic heat 
and cool set point to be used when an event 
is initiated by the Utility company. If the 
set point at the time of the event is more 
favorable  (lower in heat mode or higher in 
cool mode) than what you have programmed, 
the EMS Si will use the more favorable set 
point for the duration of the event.  
   Relative Temperature   Program a 
temperature set back (heat) or set forward 
(cool) from your existing set point. For 
example, if you program a 4 °F set forward, 
and your current cool set point is 76 °F, during 
an event your EMS Si set point will change to 
80 °F until the event has expired.
   System O   If this option is selected, the EMS 
Si will turn o heating and cooling for the 
duration of this event.
50

   Duty Cycle   This option allows you to 
program the maximum amount of time the 
system will run during a 1 hour period. For 
example, if you select 30%, the air conditioner 
will run for a maximum of 18 (0.3 x 60) 
minutes regardless of whether the set point 
has been met.  0% essentially turns the system 
o, whereas 100% runs the system at full 
capacity.
WiFi
The EMS Si supports WiFi 802.11 b/g/n. Use the 
Advanced Conguration option in the WiFi 
menu to congure your network parameters. 
Choose the network from the list or manually 
add a new one (i.e. if your network does not 
broadcast its SSID). 
You will then be able to view and congure the 
following network parameters:
   DHCP (select Disabled to use a static IP 
Address; if unsure, leave DHCP Enabled)
   SSID
   Encryption (WEP, WEP128, WPA, or WPA2)
   Password (if encryption is used)
   WiFi Channel
   IP Address and  IP Subnet
   Gateway
   Primary and Secondary DNS
If you need to specify your EMS Si’s MAC address 
in your router’s conguration, you can obtain it 
from the About menu.
To congure WiFi 
manually:
From the Home screen,  
press MENU.
Select WiFi.
Adjust the network options 
for your home network.
51

Creating Your Weekly Schedule
Your heating and cooling needs change 
depending on the time of day and day of the 
week. For example, if there’s no one in the 
building on a holiday you might want to let the 
temperature go up in the summer, to reduce 
energy used by the air conditioning system, and 
down in the winter, to reduce heating energy. 
By default, the EMS Si includes two congurable 
periods:
   Occupied   Represents the period when the 
building or area is occupied. 
   Unoccupied  Represents the period when the 
building or area is unoccupied. 
The EMS Si learns how your building’s heating 
and cooling equipment perform. Intelligent 
algorithms combine weather data, your HVAC 
equipment run times and occupancy schedules 
to optimize performance and maximize energy 
savings. 
To view your weekly 
schedule:
From the Home screen,  
press MENU.
Select Weekly Schedule.
Your weekly schedule is 
shown on the screen.
52
To edit your weekly 
schedule:
Display your Weekly 
Schedule.
Press OK.
Select the Day.
Select the Time, Heat or 
Cool Setting.
Press ▲ or ▼ to adjust the 
the value. Press ◀ or ▶ to 
toggle between columns.
Press OK.
Select Save and Continue.
Select any other days of 
the week that will also use 
the new settings. Use the 
navigation keys to switch 
between days and press OK 
to select a day.
Select Continue. The new 
schedule is displayed on the 
screen.
If your schedule changes, you can quickly and 
easily update the EMS Si settings on the device 
itself or online through your Web Portal. 
Using the Weekly Schedule 
Editor
The Weekly Schedule editor lets you to set 
specic times, temperatures and furnace fan 
settings for each day of the week. 
If your system is enabled for auto change-over 
mode, the heat and cool set temperatures will 
automatically be adjusted to ensure a minimum 
dierence.
Adding New Periods
To accommodate for your varying schedule you 
can add additional program periods in your 
week. For example if you come home for lunch 
during the week or want dierent settings for 
the weekend, you would simply add one of the 
existing periods at the allocated time and day or 
create a completely new one.
Disable a Period
To disable a period entirely, select the period’s 
Time and then select Disable. 
To add a new period:
Display the schedule for a 
day and select Add New.
Select Create New Item.
Enter a name for the new 
period and select Save.
If your house is in-use 
during this period, select 
Yes; otherwise select No.
Select Enable.
Select the new time and 
press OK.
The new period is added.

Scheduling a Calendar Event
The EMS Si’s Calendar Event feature helps 
you conserve energy while you are away for 
extended periods of time. It also ensures your 
building is comfortable when you return.
A calendar event includes a name, start date and 
time, as well as the end date and time. You can 
enter any number of uniquely named vacations. 
Other vacation features to choose from include:
ecobee optimize
Select Yes  to have the EMS Si automatically 
set your Heat Temperature, Cool Temperature, 
System Mode and Furnace Fan settings to 
maximize energy conservation.
Select No to manually congure Heat 
Temperature, Cool Temperature and Fan 
settings. These settings will be remembered the 
next time you create a calendar event.
Is Occupied
Select Yes, if during the calendar event the 
building or area will be occupied.
Heat Temperature
Programs the set temperature when the system 
is in Heat mode (i.e., when the furnace is on). Set 
a lower temperature to save energy.
Cool Temperature
Programs the set temperature when the system 
is in Cool mode (i.e., when the air conditioner 
is on). Set a higher temperature to save energy. 
You can also choose to turn o your cooling 
system while you are away to save more energy.
To schedule a calendar 
event:
From the Home screen, 
press MENU.
Select Calendar Events.
Select Add Event.
Enter a Name.

dates and times of your 
calendar event.
54

Fan
Toggles the fan setting between ON and Auto.
   ON  The fan runs all the time regardless of 
programming or if there is a call for heat or 
cool. The fan will also run if the System Mode 
is OFF.
   Auto  This option turns the furnace fan on but 
only when the system is heating or cooling 
your home, or to satisfy the minimum fan run 
time as programmed.
   Fan Min On Time  This feature allows you to 
determine a minimum time per hour that the 
furnace fan will run. It results in increased air 
circulation and a more consistent temperature 
within the home, and is more cost eective 
than choosing the ON fan setting.
In either mode, the EMS Si will ensure that when 
your calendar event ends, the EMS Si will revert 
to the regular settings.
Note: If you were running your regular program 
prior to the start of your calendar, on your return, 
the EMS Si will restore your building to those 
settings. If you were in Hold mode prior to the start 
of your calendar event, the EMS Si will restore the 
home to whatever the set temperature was just 
prior to your calendar event.
55

Delete Event
You can delete individual or all calendar events:
   To remove an individual vacation event, 
display the details about the vacation event, 
then select Delete Event ▶ Yes.
    To remove all vacation events, display the 
Calendar Event menu and select Delete All 
▶Yes.
