I've used several ecobee in my office and multiple Nest-E at home. Ecobee is so much better, more user friendly, easier to adjust and set schedules, and get your historical data out of it. Nest looks cool but is terrible for function and user experience. The WORST part is they advertise the usefulness of historical data on the Nest and you can only see the last 10 days. How is 10 days of usage history useful? I am so sorry I have Nest at home.

Well, your suspicions are wrong. it's pretty screwed up for you to be spreading false information. Nest has been well known for providing only 10 days of data. I just checked and it only shows 10 days.

But, no need to take your or my word for it. Let's use data and references and critical thinking.

Google support page for the nest:

"Your thermostat's Energy History is a detailed summary that covers the last 10 days. You can view it on your thermostat or with the Nest app on a phone, tablet, or computer."

https://support.google.com/google...2Cnest-app

Anywho. Maybe you've got a magic nest, or can't count. But, PLEASE share proof rather than assertion as if you are correct I'd love to get that data out of it. I know there are 3rd party scripts to scrape the google API and get your data but they are a pain.

One of the greatest potential values of a smart thermostat is the data over long periods of time to establish seasonal energy consumption changes. Nest makes this impossible. However, ecobee makes it EASY!

I think the one Costco has is the "lite" model.

Home Depot, Lowe's, and Best Buy have also had these at $199 for a few days now.

Rocky Mountain Power customers (eg Utah) can go to wattsmart.com and enter their billing info to get two $75 instant rebate coupon codes per address. This makes it effectively $125 + tax. When I requested my codes they arrived within seconds of submitting the form.

Wrong. The ecobee 3 lite works with the individual room sensors that detect temp and occupancy. I bought my first one that came with 2 free ones. They are a bit of a pain because they use button batteries that last maybe 6-9 months. But they can be used.
Not exactly wrong. The base unit itself doesn't have an occupancy sensor, so without any sensors you don't have presence in an ecobee 3 lite.

https://support.ecobee.com/hc/en-...d-ecobee3-

For me having that was important as there is a good chance my living room senses people (where my thermostat is) vs my bedrooms. Sure you can put the included sensor in the living room, but then at that point you might as have well bought this deal and put the sensor in another room you want to monitor since they're $79.99 for a pair.

I traded in my Nest for the Ecobee smart thermostqat because I bought Flair smart vents. The Ecobee and it's sensors alone were a big upgrade, then all the other parts you mentioned were spot on about Ecobee vs Nest.

Quick question - I have different companies for electric and gas. Each has its own online stores with rebates. Would it be best to purchase from someplace like Amazon and then submit rebates to each company myself? Any reason why a utility would deny my claim because I purchased from the other?

Like doing other multi-rebate deals, you'd be good to submit both utility rebates as long as they don't require something unique at the same time (eg original cut out UPC). I'd make sure that both are actually active though. I have rebate offers from both gas and power, but the gas one ended at the end of January. I may have been able to stack rebates then, but not now.

For those in Texas:

and Atmos has a more involved rebate

Thanks! Was able to get 2 coupon codes from Oncor for 2 ecobees after I emailed them.

Hello. I was thinking about getting smart vents and wondered how they work with Ecobee? Do the Flair vents work well with it? Do you still use the room sensors or does the Flair have a thermostat built in that communicates with Ecobee? Thank you.

You need to buy one flair puck as a gateway for all your vents. In the flair app you tell it which vents are tied to which ecobee sensors. It can use the sensors motion sensor to see if a room is occupied. You will need an ecobee sensor for every zone you want to create but it does work great.

flair was the reason I pulled a perfectly good Nest out for Ecobee. I'm glad I did as I like the Ecobee a lot more than Nest now but never would have tried it before.

To make use of a system like this or the Costco one, do I need a dual HVAC setup in my house? Have a baby on the way and keeping that room a specific temp would be nice. Thanks!
Place the sensor in your room and in the thermostat programming, inactivate the built in sensor of the thermostat for possibly all cycles (home/away/sleep). That way, the thermostat will regulate your HVAC unit to keep your room at the temperature you desire, and not the thermostat location.

If I don't need the extra function like occupancy sensor, speakers, etc, does it make any sense to get the SmartThermostat vs the Ecobee 3 Lite?

After two more hours researching, taking to amazon chat, this rewards is by card type. I have to open a new about to quality for rewards. There, so no one else has to waste their day
