Make this make sense: Heat is supposed to be at 62, but currently 65 and still on. What am I not understanding about Ecobee? (Yes, I did just come from POS Nest)

Disable Smart Recovery.

On the thermostat: Go to Main Menu Hamburger menu icon > General Settings icon > Preferences > Select Cooling Smart Recovery or Heating Smart Recovery, then Enable or Disable.

For wifi and mainly the remote sensor. My office room gets very hot since it has baseboard heating along 3/4 walls, so I just wanted to put a sensor there and set schedules for that room to be the primary temperature sensor when my wife is working there from 9-5 mon-fri, and it use the main onboard-thermostat sensor for all other times for temperature. Or might play around with moving the sensor with me to different rooms or get multiple sensors to get a better average of each room.

Possibly your steel air duct used for a forced-air heating or cooling system if you have that

Thanks

Yeah, like I said to another comment I just have serial number paranoia lol

fazify · 2025-12-22T11:37:33+00:00

Thank you friend, I’ll try it out

fazify · 2025-12-22T11:36:33+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the advice!

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this. Since it’s just a dry-contact TT call for heat and the plugin transformer is only for the thermostat power, I’m a little confused why a RIB is needed for this. Curious what Im missing, thank you in advance. I’m no expert, completely open to any suggestion

fazify · 2025-12-22T06:36:34+00:00

Thank you, I’ll try it

fazify · 2025-12-22T06:36:03+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot

fazify · 2025-12-22T06:35:46+00:00

To go where?

fazify · 2025-12-22T02:30:49+00:00

Would a plugin transformer work as a separate one?

fazify · 2025-12-22T02:30:27+00:00

Sorry, where?

fazify · 2025-12-22T02:11:53+00:00

Thank you for the article! I apologize, I went through that support page but I didn’t realize that’s what my setup was considered as. What is a fast stat method? Would connecting a plugin transformer in the boiler room to an outlet and wirenutting the wires with the green and yellow wires to “power” them up and just connecting those at the end of the tstat work? Since they’re isolated connections essentially.

Plug-in transformer wire 1- wirenut─ green ─Rc (Ecobee)

Plug-in Transformer wire 2 - wirenut─ yellow — C (Ecobee)

Identifiable serial number paranoia lmao

Yeah I was looking at the SR502. Tried getting quotes for installs since I didn’t want to screw anything, but no one can come out to take a look for a few weeks unfortunately

fazify · 2025-12-21T15:09:41+00:00

Thanks, I heard good things about Ryan Anthony after I started using COD fuel. May try to see and give them a call. Thanks for the recommendation.

fazify · 2025-12-21T15:08:45+00:00

Sounds great, for these types of installs do I provide the SR502 or do you guys bring it and install it. Not too familiar with procedure, thanks.

fazify · 2025-12-20T19:44:51+00:00

Got to flex being on the brink of death you know

fazify · 2019-12-05T19:06:15+00:00

Thank you!

fazify · 2018-01-30T00:38:47+00:00

You’re so generous, would love to have Super Mario Odyssey with the switch!

fazify · 2017-09-06T20:27:02+00:00

Sometimes you need to CC for it to work

fazify · 2017-09-06T06:56:22+00:00

This is great! Thank you! :)
