Ecobee thermostat is accurate?

How accurate is the temperature sensor of the ecobee's? The ecobee temperature sensors has a +/– 1.0F accuracy. It is programmed to give readings every 15 second. It will average the two previous values into the current reading.



You can calibrate an Ecobee thermostat in the same way.

To get an accurate temperature reading from your home, the ecobee temperature sensor must be calibrated. This is done every time the thermostat restarts. It usually takes between 5 and 20 minutes. The thermostat will usually reboot in these situations when there is a request for cooling or heating.

Second, which is more efficient nest or ecobee? Nest is less efficient than Ecobee at detecting if you are home or away. Nest has a motion sensor and additional SmartSensors for temperature and motion detection. Ecobee SmartThermostat includes a one-room sensor (ecobee3 Lite does not have this feature) and Ecobee systems can be augmented with up to 32 SmartSensors.

Blowing fuse on furnace control board. Open the furnace panel to expose the control panel, where the thermostat wires are. The majority of systems have a purple or orange 3 amp fuse on the board. Make sure you check this fuse to make sure it is intact. The ecobee should turn on again once the fuse has been replaced.
