Once you’ve wired it up, powered it on, and
the Ecobee SmartThermostat has confirmed
your HVAC setup, you need only inform the
thermostat of your preferred temperature
comfort ranges for when you’re at
home, away, and sleeping. It
then establishes a basic
schedule that will automati-
cally adjust as it learns both
your daily activity and any
tweaks you make. Its use
of smart sensors makes
sure that your home’s
climate will be comfortable
wherever you are in it.
More conventional thermo-
stats simply the monitor the
space where the thermostat
itself is located.—JASON D’APRILE
