250 of 261 people found the following review helpful  Definitely better than my Nest was., By Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: ecobee Smart Thermostat 4 Heat-2 Cool with Full Color Touch Screen (Tools & Home Improvement) After weeks of putting up with two flaky Nest Learning Thermostat – 2nd Generation T200577 units, I gave up on Nest and decided to give this a shot. So far, it’s been pretty decent. Since the two are similarly-priced, and there are lots of reviews about each model, I’ll offer a comparison. INSTALLATION: First, the ecobee has a relatively large panel that needs to go “somewhere” between your furnace and thermostat. For my setup, my furnace and thermostat share different sides of the same wall. So, wiring could have been as simple as cutting the thermostat line somewhere in the middle, wiring up R/W/G/Y in the panel, and using the remaining wire to do +/-/I/O to the thermostat. The tricky part is getting power to the panel. I decided I was going to run a common wire, and after changing out the physical wire, I realized that I didn’t know as much about 24V as I thought. Now, I *could* learn some more about HVAC wiring, or I *could* check and see if I have a 12V wall wort type of transformer. Sure enough, I had a 12V transformer from an old Linksys router, and my power problem was easily solved. Then I connected my humidifier to the first ACC terminals, and I was set. The Nest, on the other hand, required no wire cutting, and draws power from the existing wiring. However, it’s notoriously unstable. Om my particular system, it would complain about improper wiring for ten minutes or more, if the power had been cut. Others have reported the battery slowly discharging. Easy to install, not so easy to maintain. INTELLIGENCE The ecobee, on the other hand, tries to learn how your house and furnace work. It isn’t going to learn that you like it to be 73 when you first wake up, but it is going to learn how long it takes to make sure your house is 73 when you tell it you wake up. CONNECTIVITY On the IOS / Android side, Nest presents a smaller (though fully-functional) version of their web interface. Brilliantly, ecobee did just the opposite. Their mobile application presents an interface that looks just like your thermostat’s interface. Very, very smart. DATA Fire up Microsoft Excel 2010 if you want to get granular with the ecobee, because every five minutes, it logs: So, you wind up with something that looks like this: It’s exportable as a CSV, or if you want to scour your info from ecobee’s page, it looks like they’ve got some RRDTool implementation running. CONSTRUCTION QUALITY 106 of 119 people found the following review helpful  I LOVE this thermostat!, By MikeK (Virginia) – See all my reviews This review is from: ecobee Smart Thermostat 4 Heat-2 Cool with Full Color Touch Screen (Tools & Home Improvement) Synopsis: Yes, this is a pricey thermostat – there is no disputing that but, this isn’t a clunky time clock that just adjusts the temperature set point a few times a day either. Plain and simple, it’s a computer to monitor and control your home environment and it does this very well. Prior to purchase… My situation: Complicating my irregular visitation and use of the house, I have a somewhat unique 2 stage heating / 1 stage cooling system. Not that it’s all that “unique”, it’s just not typical. I have a hydronic radiant floor heating system as stage 1 that is augmented by electric forced air as stage 2. Cooling is via a single stage forced air system. A radiant floor heating system is very slow to react to significant temperature changes. What this means is that if I just drop in unplanned for a winter weekend, the weekend may be over before the stage 1 temperature to comes up to its set point. The ability to adjust the settings remotely is *huge* for me. (I know, I know – radiant floor heating for a vacation home?? It’s a future retirement home too!) The installation: Operation: Internet Access! Smartphone Access too! Summary: 0 58 of 66 people found the following review helpful  Gets the job done but poor interface design, By Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: ecobee Smart Thermostat 4 Heat-2 Cool with Full Color Touch Screen (Tools & Home Improvement) Last fall I purchased two different “smart” thermostats to try out before we made a decision on which to use throughout our home. The ecobee was recommended by a local architect. We’ve used the thermostats for 5 months straight, and I think we will likely go with the other brand due to ease of installation and ease of use issues with the ecobee. That said, the ecobee is a good product. Pros: -Reliable. While occasionally the ecobee seems to spontaneously go offline and display its flapping wings logo (is it updating itself?), it always comes back online automatically and has never required a reset. -Reasonably good looking -Programming using the web-based interface is easy -Does what it is supposed to do and is controllable remotely if you create an ecobee account and link the termostat -Allows for direct control of variables like temperature differential (i.e., do you want it to turn on and off at +/- 1 degree from the set temperature or +/- 2, etc.) Cons: -Thermostat touch screen is a textbook example of bad user interface design — i.e., they opted for a slick looking slider instead of simple +/- buttons. I do not have large fingers and I can almost never get the slider where I want it on the first try. It drives me nuts that the hardest thing to do on this user interface is set the temperature. -The iPhone app is very limited and similarly frustrating. For example you can do a temporary override to any temperature but you cannot change the duration of the hold (it defaults to 4 hours). Or you can enter “quicksave” mode which indefinitely lowers the temperature by a preset amount (default is 4 degrees), but you cannot change the amount of the temperature change from the app. For most other functions you need to log in to the website to control remotely or program. -Install requires someone reasonably knowledgeable about his or her HVAC system or else professional installation -Because it requires installation of two boxes (interface module connects to heating and cooling systems while the thermostat connects to interface module) it might require a significant run of new wire unless the heating and cooling system controls are in the same location. For most people with forced air systems this is not an issue, but could be when combining AC with steam or hot water baseboard systems. 0 |
