How Ecobee Thermostats Optimize Home Energy Usage
Ecobee smart thermostats are designed to efficiently manage your home’s heating and cooling. Their room sensors detect the temperature in different areas of your home and adjust the temperature based on the rooms you actually use.
Schedule and Geofencing
You can create customized schedules to lower the temperature when you’re away or sleeping. Ecobee’s geofencing feature uses your phone’s location to detect when you’re leaving the house and automatically switches to an energy-saving mode. When you return home, it readjusts to your preferred temperature. This automation alone can reduce energy usage by up to 23% annually.
Room Sensors
Ecobee’s optional room sensors detect the temperature in key areas of your home so your thermostat can deliver the right temperature where you need it most. Place sensors in living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces. Your Ecobee thermostat will then balance the temperature across these rooms to keep you comfortable while maximizing efficiency. Studies show that for every degree you lower your thermostat in winter or raise it in summer, you can save up to 3% per year on heating and cooling costs.
Energy Reports
Ecobee thermostats provide detailed energy reports so you can see your usage trends over time and make adjustments to become more efficient. You’ll get insights into how factors like the weather, HVAC settings, and built-in energy-saving features impact your monthly bills. With visibility into your energy data, you can make the small changes that result in big savings.
Optimizing home energy usage is easier than ever with Ecobee’s smart thermostats and room sensors. By automating temperature adjustments, focusing heating and cooling where you need it, and providing energy insights, Ecobee can help significantly reduce your utility bills while maximizing comfort. The savings and environmental benefits add up quickly for an eco-friendly upgrade you’ll appreciate for years to come.
Ecobee Smart Sensors Maximize Comfort and Savings
Want to take control of your home’s temperature and lower energy usage? Ecobee’s smart sensors are the key. Unlike basic thermostats that only sense the temperature in one spot, Ecobee sensors detect the temperature in the rooms that matter most to you. ###
Place sensors in the living room, bedrooms, basement, attic – wherever you spend the most time. The Ecobee thermostat uses the sensor data to deliver the right temperature in the right rooms at the right times based on your preferences. No more wasting energy heating or cooling unused spaces!
Ecobee’s Room Sensors and Smart Sensors also detect occupancy and adjust the temperature for maximum efficiency when you’re away. When the house is empty, the thermostat automatically switches to an energy-saving setback schedule so you’re not paying to heat or cool an empty home.
The best part is how easy it is to set up. The wireless sensors simply pair with your Ecobee thermostat, so there’s no complicated installation or wiring required. You can move the sensors to different rooms as needed to improve comfort wherever you are in the house.
Between the remote sensors, occupancy detection, and setback features, Ecobee’s technology can help lower your heating and cooling bills by up to 23% annually. And reducing energy usage is not only good for your wallet, it’s good for the planet. With Ecobee’s smart home devices, you’ll be optimizing comfort and savings in no time.
Additional Ecobee Products for an Efficient Smart Home
To fully optimize your home’s energy efficiency, Ecobee offers several other smart devices that seamlessly integrate with your thermostat.
Smart Sensors
Ecobee’s wireless Smart Sensors detect occupancy and temperature in the rooms where they’re placed. Linked to your Ecobee thermostat, the sensors help ensure the temperature is comfortable in the rooms you use the most.

The Smart Camera seamlessly integrates with your Ecobee thermostat for an unparalleled whole-home smart solution.
