Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn’t my ecobee responding to Alexa?

When Alexa reports that an Ecobee device is not responding, this usually signifies that Wi-Fi has been lost by the Ecobee. When a SmartSensor or Room Sensor malfunctions, it typically means the sensor and the paired thermostat have lost contact.

Does Ecobee always pay attention?

(Disabling the always-listening feature also turns on an unsightly and bothersome bright red light at the top of the Ecobee.) The Ecobee4 will constantly flash a bright red light if the always listening mode is turned off. A remote sensor detects presence and temperature distant from the thermostat.

Can my Ecobee hear me when I speak?

Sync your contacts in the Alexa app before you begin. Receiving incoming calls from other Alexa-enabled devices is another capability included here. Your connected Ecobee device will notify you when a call is incoming by ringing and turning green. Voice commands can be used to answer or place calls.

Ecobee can function without Wi-Fi.

Yes, to answer briefly. Your ecobee will continue to operate as a standard thermostat even if there is no Wi-Fi connection; it will engage your equipment as necessary and maintain your comfort set points.

Is there a camera on the Ecobee thermostat?

Although Ecobee doesn’t presently provide cameras, including one may help it compete with Nest. For the company’s smart thermostat, the camera might be utilized as a presence sensor, and it might even have temperature and humidity sensors to give the thermostat more precise readings.

What does the ecobee’s green light signify?

Similar to the yellow light on Echo smart speakers, an Ecobee flashing or blinking green light indicates that you have an Alexa notice. Until you respond to or ignore the message on your thermostat or another Alexa-enabled device, the light will keep flashing.

Why doesn’t my Ecobee thermostat function?

To see the control panel where the cables for your thermostat are linked, open the panel on your furnace. On the board of most systems, there should be a purple 3 or an orange 5 amp fuse; make sure this fuse is in good condition. Replace a blown fuse if necessary. The ecobee should turn back on when a blown fuse has been replaced.

What distinguishes the ecobee from the ecobee Lite?

The greatest change is that the ecobee3 lite doesn’t support humidifiers, dehumidifiers, or ventilators because the ecobee lite now supports room sensors. If you already own these extras, you should upgrade to the ecobee3 to fully utilize your home’s HVAC system.

Does Ecobee gather information?

Both operational data, such as temperature set points from your HVAC system, and environmental data, such as temperature and humidity, are collected by your ecobee device. Additional sorts of data, like motion sensing (sometimes known as “occupancy sensing”), may be present in some device models.

On Ecobee, where is the microphone?

On your thermostat, press the microphone in the lower right corner.

Is Alexa able to adjust the thermostat?

One can: Say “Alexa, set (thermostat name) to 70” to establish a particular temperature. Raise and reduce the temperature gradually by saying “Alexa, lower the (thermostat name) by 5 degrees.” Alexa, cool down (thermostat name), give commands to boost or lower the temperature by 2 degrees.

How come Alexa can’t locate my thermostat?

You can restart Alexa to check if the issue is fixed if it is unable to find the Nest thermostat. It may also be helpful to update the apps on both devices. But make sure the two devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and if any of them isn’t working, perform a factory reset before seeing if Alexa can find the Nest thermostat.

Does the Ecobee smart thermostat allow music playback?

The sensors on Ecobee have also been updated. Additionally, customers will be able to stream music services like Spotify, Pandora, and Amazon Music from the thermostat to a covert Bluetooth speaker thanks to the additional Bluetooth capability.

Can ecobee regulate lighting?

To let you control your lights, temperature, and more in your own way, ecobee integrates with platforms that you already know and love.

What occurs if Ecobee’s Wi-Fi is lost?

If any wireless sensors are attached, the ecobee will still function as a thermostat to maintain the specified temperatures and utilize them. The only distinction is that until it reconnects, you won’t be able to remotely monitor or operate it.
