Review on ๐ŸŒ‘ Black ecobee Lite Smart Thermostat by Michael Mendoza

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Problems with installation, otherwise excellent thermostat.

Wanted to change the rating to 4 out of 1 because I figured out how to hook it up. Ecobee customer service eventually contacted me about installing this product, but in the end my oven's control board didn't even have a C-wire connector. Finally I connected it to a 24V power supply coming from a transformer. Ever since I installed it I've been very happy with it. It's always on and stays connected to WiFi with no connectivity issues. It works well with my Echo Dot and Alexa can find my Ecobee every time I ask it to adjust the temperature. My only complaint about this thermostat is that if you set it to Auto rather than just Cool or Heat you have limited control over the temperature as it has to stay within a certain range. I love setting up Ecobee from my iPhone while I'm at work. The scheduling feature is also useful because I don't have to remember to turn off the heating before I go to bed and the house is at the ideal temperature an hour before I wake up. I highly recommend this product and if you have a big house it is worth buying room sensors. I don't have sensors for mine because the two main living areas are next to this thermostat anyway. Great product, I recommend.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
