I have the Ecobee only for the sensor option, the smart home stuff is too complicated without a Shabbos mode.Thus my configuration until now on my Ecobee 3 has been:-Disable smart/home away-Disable follow me-Set brightness for active and standby to 10-Disable standby screen-Hold action until changed
Has anybody been successful reordering, I just checked & seems like they allow me to place another order
Have you/anyone sorted out the Nest for shabbos/yt?
The limit is 2, did you go over 2?
Do all these require a C wire? Because the Nest doesn't
Yes, unlike the Nest that has a battery and can use really low voltage to charge it , the Ecobee needs a C wire.
negative, the ecobee has a piece which swaps a wire on the panel on the furnace into a C, so even if you don't have a C you can make it compatible
Just switched from a Honeywell to the ecobee3 Lite (free from BGE). Technician said you can turn off the proximity sensor manually from the app. No need for tape. (Says he gets that question a lot from the Jewish folks in my neighborhood lol)
You can turn off the proximity sensor, but you'll still have a problem with the standby display.The only options are tape or to keep disable the standby display and keep the active and inactive displays on the same brightness.
