Here at Hughes, we have been offering the ecobee Smart Thermostat for some time now. We have been monitoring its reliability and technical support, so we can attest that this device – which you control right from your smartphone – really is quite smart.
The Smart Thermostat is an intelligent device that offers remote access so you can manage your home’s or business’ climate control and other operations even when you’re not there. This means that you can monitor those locations anywhere you have a wireless signal. You can warm up your house during the cold winter months before you arrive home. If you’re going to be away for any stretch of time, you can make adjustments remotely to make sure your pipes won’t freeze. Or, if you head up IT operations for your company, you can conveniently monitor the computer room temperature without having to drive to work.
This programmable thermostat is very easy to use and program. As you look at your phone’s display, you’re actually seeing the thermostat that we installed. It offers such features as a five-day weather forecast, so you can adjust the room temperature in accordance with the outside conditions. Charts and graphs will help you analyze energy savings and other trends to more efficiently run those locations, and automatic alerts and reminders will keep you informed.
The thermostat can also use IFTTT technology to make it more intuitive. Using If-Then logic, the thermostat can be programmed to save energy by learning your schedule. When you leave the house, it can automatically raise or lower the temperature, depending on the season, to save you money. Conversely, it can also be programmed to raise or lower the set-point when you leave the office so your home is comfortable when you get there.
The ecobee Smart Thermostat offers many valuable and practical features, but to us, the most valuable offering is peace of mind.
