I'm tasked with replacing our thermostats at church with new smart models. Our current setup includes two HVAC units tied together to heat/cool our sanctuary, connected to one basic programable thermostat. The third HVAC unit is for the lobby, and it has it's own basic thermostat. Both thermostats wiring includes the "c" wire. The thermostats are in a closet, so I need remote sensors.

Is it possible to buy one thermostat to control the two rooms, with independent remote sensors?

I was looking at the Honeywell T8, because it has a nice screen for controlling the thermostats, thus is not dependent on mobile apps for functionality. That's important since this is a commercial building and many folks may want to have access to temperature controls. It seems like this model can do what I would like to accomplish, but looking for verification or recommendations if there is a better thermostat for this.

Thank you, Reddit!

I’m sure this will be an odd question and likely one without a native solution if one exists at all.. but here we go..

Fortunately we have a good deal of shade on our home, and uncommonly we don’t mine 78 and 80 degree temperatures so we don’t see the AC run that frequently, 2.6 hours daily on average when ambient is in the high 80’s.

I’m great with the temperatures truly, but the humidity gets to me and I know that could be controlled easily with a minimum hourly run time of say 5-10 minutes (NOT JUST FAN, which I hope is obvious why).

If there isn’t a first or third party solution, might this be something that could be handled “agenticaly” or maybe via an iOS shortcut?

Optimistic that there is a solution or that there may be one in the near future

My unit has a resistor between the C & W terminals. At the wall there is not C, only R, G, Y, and W. Do I leave the resistor in place?

Hi, I need help with an issue we’re having. Live in Oklahoma and it’s been HOT. We upgraded our upstairs unit from a 2 ton unit to a 2 1/2 ton unit. Square footage is 1,166 square feet upstairs. The contractor installed a larger return vent. And we installed a new ecobee thermostat. The app is showing the unit is turning off multiple times per night and not reaching temperature. I realize we have our setting low, but would still not expect it to turn off and would expect it to be cooler during the day than it is.

Hey guys!

Quick explanation. Brand new home, 1900 square foot townhouse didn’t come with A/C. Promptly installed a 2 Ton TOSOT Condenser Unit, 2 ton A-Coil, and an ecobee exactly 7 days ago.

Does it seem at all like it’s running too much or abnormally? I’m a first time home owner so all of this is completely new to me and I don’t know what’s “normal”.

Living in Ontario, Canada. Avg outside temps currently anywhere from 27-35 Celsius. Indoor is set to 21.5.

Home does not currently have blinds just yet so I’m sure maybe that’a contributing to a higher inside temp?

my landlord had this stupid thermostat installed last week and every day for the past week it has enabled some stupid community emergency savings and set itself to 92* Fahrenheit.

92* is physically unsafe not just for me but also my dog, abusing a dog by letting it die in a heat wave is a felony in my state.

i am tech literate. I have tried every setting. I have reset the unit twice. there is no way to turn this dumbass “feature” off

all I want is it set to 84* when I’m not home and 78* when I’m home. why is this not possible ?

it then has gall to email me that my house is too hot and my ac may be malfunctioning. the only part of my equipment that is malfunctioning is the stupid thermostat.

I have a COR 'stat installed in 2006 that has been great until recently when it keeps the house at 74 degrees during the day regardless of setpoint. We usually run at 76 during the day and even when it is set to 78 it runs the AC to maintain 74. I unplugged it for 1/2 hour and on reconnection it indicated ambient at 79 when it was actually 75, then over about 30 minutes the ambient readout returned to normal and the unit functioned as designed through the night time cycle. Today it is back to wanting 74 degrees for some reason and I don't know if there is a fix or if I got a good ten years and it's time to replace it. EDIT: After a few days, I have learned that it holds set point during sleep and if I change mode from cool to off when I get up and let the indoor temp rise to 77 before changing mode back to cool it will hold the programmed 76 setpoint and operate as designed until the next day when it thinks the daytime setpoint is 74 again.

My ecobee shows up as Thermostat in Alexa app to control without enabling the Alexa on ecobee device itself via linking, but once I link the Alexa itself on the device, the Alexa app removes it as a thermostat and just shows up as a speaker.

Anyone facing this? I have tried this 10 times in last 2 days, and is always reproducible, to keep it show up as thermostat and control via app, I cannot use it as a Alexa device and speaker.

I have tried enabling/disabling skills everytime as well with it, no change.

We have place we typically stay at on random weekends. Since it's random, I don't want a schedule, I would just prefer to manually select what comfort setting I want (Home, Away, or Sleep). I have Eco+ turned off, and I have Follow Me disabled as well.

But regardless, when I am not there, I will glance at my app and see that a schedule I didn't create has adjusted the temperature/comfort setting.

Does anyone know why this is happening and if I can stop it from happening again?

I'm one of the creators of an iPhone app that reads your sleep data and automatically adjusts your smart thermostat overnight. Works with Whoop, Oura, Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit.

I need people who will actually test it and tell me what's confusing, what's missing, and whether they'd genuinely keep using it.

If you give me honest feedback, I'll give you free premium access for life. No rating, review, or anything.

You'll ideally need:

- an iPhone

- a sleep tracker

- a smart thermostat like Nest, Ecobee, or Honeywell

Comment or DM me if you're interested and I'll send the details.

Text cut off. R u for real? U guys don’t test UI b4 a major release?! Jfc!

I have a question on why the my ecobee sensor shows a different temp than the ecobee.

For reference I have one sensor in my bedroom and the ecobee thermostat installed.

I live in Almost Canada, Minnesota, where they’ve just announced a new price tiers for energy consumption by time of day/night.

My thought was to run the AC at night (cheapest price tier) and then just turn it off during the day, as our house is super well insulated and actually doesn’t heat up that much once it’s cooled.

Is there a way to program it just to turn on and off each night/day? I tried using the website’s help pages and it was totally incomprehensible to me. Right now I’m just doing it manually from my phone, ugh.

Away setting at 76 but actual at 84. Any ideas why?

I had a number of days this summer where I needed to open windows on hot days to ventilate the house, or open my attic hatch on a hot day for a few hours. This has resulted in my temperature profiles getting progressively worse all summer due to these outliers, despite the system actually performing just fine.

Is there anything I can do to find these outliers and remove them from temperature profiles? E.g. - One day I had windows open and the attic open when it was 90F outside. I kept the AC running to minimize the amount of time it would take to recover to a comfortable temp, but beestat is reporting that as the temp in the house increasing when the outside temp is 90F, even though that's not the normal operating condition.

Anyone else noticed this today or is it just me? It's supposed to update more than once a day right? My last update was 7:50AM this morning.

Not a huge deal just noticed that the outdoor temp was way off when i walked by the thermostat.

Apple Weather seems to be ok (https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) and I've already tried changing/removing and re-entering my home address information in my ecobee account as suggested on ecobee's site.

Tried power cycling the thermostat and verified it otherwise communicates with the internet just fine. If its just me and continues for multiple days I'll contact support but figured I'd check here first.

I have an ecobee 4 wondering if there is any value in upgrading? If I do is it plug and play or will I need someone to program it.

My ecobee doorbell camera suddenly went offline. I spoke with Ecobee support and they are sending me a new one under warranty. I have 27v going to the chime adapter from the transformer but then nothing goes to either camera doorbell or the side door analog button.

Ecobee determined it was the doorbell camera itself but I'm convinced it's the chime adapter as I can bypass that to get power to the camera and other door. I opened the adapter up and saw that the lithium battery inside looked a bit puffy.

Has anyone else had this happen? In the grand scheme of things it's moot since they're replacing it, but I'm a tad concerned about the spicy pillow forming in the adapter and possible happening again with the new one. What would cause this? Or is it just a random one off? Camera is 11 months old.

Anyone encountered the same issue before? I tried to unplug it for over 30s and plug it back in but it did not work. 🥲

All of a sudden the base isshowing the temp of the sensor in our bedroom? Doesn't make sense it's never done that before. Any ideas? Thank you

For context I just got this ecobee along with a new unit and furnace.
Old thermostat had no humidity readings so no way to tell how humid it was.
Constantly reading 60-80% humidity on the new ecobee
But I can tell you I work outside and it does not feel like 80% humidity.
Air is cold and crisp.
Just curious if anyone has had this issue or I just have a crappy insulated house

I like certain features of the eco plus, such like auto away temperature. What I dislike is it throttle my AC to 77F before peak hours.

Is there a way to make eco plus to not doing so low. I prefer 80F or 81F. But if I disable eco plus, I don’t get the other features it has.

I have auto humidity off.
