Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium 6th Gen With Smart Sensor EB-STATE6P-01

It’s good, but not sure if the sensor that came wi the it works properly

After using both the Nest and Ecobee Premium thermostats, I’ve found that while the Ecobee wins in terms of screen size and overall appearance, the Nest is significantly smarter and more user-friendly in terms of ease of use and navigation.

It works in Dubai but requires a change in the wiring. I hired a company and paid 350aed for the installation. There were 2 minor connectivity issues but Ecobee has a live chat. They answered immediately and helped me resolve the issue and it never happened again.

Despite a sleek design and a well designed app, this device is extremely disappointing. It's customization is both detailed but very limited, which means it allows you to customize many useless features of your system but then limits the main functions such as fan speed! Note that this works only in the US. I installed it in the UAE but had to trick it using a US address, which makes its weather-related features useless. I regret buying this device.

Paid a premium for the premium variant to find out it dont work with my AC (2 Wire 240W), professional installation cost AED 1500.00 but if I pay installation more than the product price I am not an engineer. Finally found and convinced a wholesaler for a single piece of a traslator product from China here in UAE called Dropair for ~AED 750 with inbuilt transformer (24V), installed it myself with the help of a PDF guide saving me purchase of a compatale transformer and professional fee. Note: to make it work with Smartthings u will need a US account as ecobee works only with US smartthings (just make a new account)

Good product

Do not buy this product outside of the USA, you will have nothing but pain, starting from installation, ending with waking up at night, because even though you are able to set your timezone on their web-site's CP, it will constantly reset to USA anyway and support will not do anything about it. read reviews on the internet. do not buy Ecobee in UAE!

I really wanted this product to work in Australia, purchased it, got an electrician to help with installation, but unfortunately had no success. However, the seller was very accomodating and helped with offering a full refund. Would highly recommend. Thank you

I'm about a month into using the ecobee Smart Thermostat. This thermostat does everything I wish my Nest had done, with a surprise. Read until the end! You can skip this paragraph if you want to just read about the ecobee thermostat. I'm not new to smart thermostats. My first smart thermostat was a 3M Filtrete. Not a lot of features, but it worked well. I had a Nest several years ago and left it with my previous house when I sold it. Had a Honeywell thermostat for a couple of years, and it was OK, but had some quirks. I thought maybe I'd like the new Nest better and tried one for about 6 months, but hated incompatibilities and a super poor user interface. Plus I wasted over an hour before I searched online and found out that the GOOGLE Nest wasn't compatible with Google Workspace accounts. Go figure. So I'm done with the Nest permanently, thankfully. Rant over. ;) The ecobee has some features that I didn't know I wanted. The remote unit is cool (or warm), and when I'm in the bedroom, it adjusts temperature there to my set program. I'm thinking I'll probably get a couple more occupancy sensors to make this even better as I move around the house. The ecobee app interface is really good, especially compared to the Google/Nest interface. It's very good about respecting settings I put in place, unlike the Nest. The Amazon Echo/Alexa support surprised me. I was expecting a connection to my existing echo devices, which is there, but the ecobee thermostat has a speaker in it and actually functions as an Echo device. I wasn't expecting that, and it works well. I wouldn't recommend it if you were thinking about it for music, but it's nice to have since it's in an area where I didn't have an Echo device. The installation and setup was really easy, though this is my 5th or 6th smart thermostat. One takeaway from my first thermostat installation - cut the power to your furnace/AC before you start installation. I know the instructions say to do that, but on my first installation, I had a really cold night! The big surprise for me was when I went to see what the vacation mode looked like. I was really excited because it had a feature I hadn't expected. On occasion, I'll forget to turn my thermostat to vacation hold right when I leave, but when I went to that section, I found I could actually *schedule* vacation holds! Now, as soon as I book my flights, I can set up a vacation schedule so I don't have to think about it when I'm getting ready to travel. I can set efficiency to happen automatically when I'm going to leave, and set to be comfortable just before I plan to be back. Great feature, and something that I'll definitely use. I highly recommend this thermostat, and even though I've gone through several over the past 10 years, this one feels like the best fit for me so far, and I'm likely to stick with this one for a significant amount of time.

I only review products that are extraordinarily bad or incredibly good. This product merits the latter, not just for its programming and control features, but for outstanding customer service. My dated HVAC system does not have a C wire, which is necessary to power most modern programmable thermostats. Fortunately, this top of the line ecobee thermostat comes with a hack, called a power extender kit. Unfortunately, the power extender kit is not an easy install. That’s where Ecobee‘s amazing customer service comes into play. For more than an hour, the Ecobee’s customer service rep, using my digital photographs uploaded to the company’s portal, and with clear, highly skilled communication, walked me through the wiring process, not just at the newly mounted thermostat but also deep in the innards of my furnace to mount the power extender. Keep in mind, time was of the essence, considering the furnace had to be shut down in early January in Chicago. We got it done in an hour or so. Had Ecobee not been there to walk me through this, I would’ve had to remount the old, persnickety Nest thermostat given the winter time urgency, and call an HVAC guy. I doubt my handyman would’ve had the expertise to mount the power extender kit without help from the company. The Ecobee with the power extender is not inexpensive but considering the time and cost of fish taping a C wire through the wall to connect to the old furnace, it’s a reasonable price. If your furnace is like mine and has only four wires leading to the thermostat, chances are you need this. Bottom line: an excellent product exceeded only by its outstanding customer service!

After 2 weeks since purchased, I still have no idea how to install?!
