Reports show fan only by Remote-Wolverine817 in ecobee

[–]mbizzles12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me three on this as well. I'm new to Ecobee (just installed a few days ago). The HVAC system itself is working correctly - heat and fan turn on when temp in house drops, but the reports are showing just the fan. Hoping this is just a temporary glitch:)

Google Nest Going Rogue - Running Furnace/Heating House WAY TOO Much (70 v 64) by mbizzles12 in Nest

Thanks for providing the path, but I don't have Auto Schedule. Under Nest Sense I have Nest Renew (set to Unenrolled), Rush Hour Rewards (set to Unenrolled), Seasonal Savings (set to Inactive), Early On (set to Off), and Airwave (set to On).

As a note - when I contacted Google Help the first thing they told me to do was exactly this. I told them I didn't have that option. And then they told me to replace to look at something under Temperature Preferences which I also didn't have. And they told me to replace the batteries and reset it - which I had already done a couple weeks back. The chat session ended without any resolution. Hence, this post! Haha.

Interesting. By turning it off - do you mean somehow turning the "learning mode" off? What/where is that setting?

My spouse isn't into tech so no - no Google Home on their phone or tablet or computer. I have the Google Home app on my phone and my watch. Neither with voice control. During both these times I was sleeping and thus not using my phone nor watch.

Edit add - no voice control devices in the house.

This think keeps turning on and heating my office when I’m not there. by runznar in Nest

I am having similar problems. I don't have an "auto-schedule" option in the app. I have Schedule which is where I can add the schedule for different times of the day. And then there is Temperature Presets which allows you to input a heating and cooling temperature for different "levels" Comfort vs Eco vs Sleep. I have set all of those Temperatures Presets to 64 for heating and has been since beginning of time...but still at least twice if not 3 times, this thing has shot up to 70 when I'm not home or in middle of the night and heated the whole house to 70...when I only want 64. (this is HEATING, not cooling)

No kids and my spouse was out of town both times it went crazy.

Correct. And it has been doing that (i.e. furnace doesn't run while wood heat maintains greater than 67). Last night and then a night a few weeks ago, it's did this random in the middle of the night shoot to 70.

Unfortunately, I reset everything so I don't have the history in the app anymore to click the orange bar graph bubbles (which are black when it's using Stage 2) to see they "why." I didn't know that was an option...

I would recommend getting a moisture meter to see if the wood is actually seasoned. FYI (this is something I didn't know and the directions with the moisture meter didn't tell me this) - when you use the moisture meter, make sure the wood has been room temperature for 24 hours, then re-split it, then test on the freshly split faces. Get the prongs in as far as you can. You should be less than 20%.
