1. Disconnect the power to the heating and air conditioning equipment.
2. Disconnect the wires going to the existing Thermostat.
3. Using the wiring diagrams on pages 9-14, connect the heating or air conditioning equipment to the Equipment Interface.
4. Do not apply power until you have installed and connected the Smart Thermostat. (see instructions on page 15-18)
5. Do not install the front cover on the Equipment Interface at this point.

Wiring Diagrams
Below are the Equipment Interface Terminal Labels
Please take note that there is a factory-installed jumper between R/H and R/C

Installing the Smart Thermostat

The ideal location for the Smart Thermostat is approximately five feet (1.5m) above floor level in the main living area.
Do not install the Smart Thermostat:

• Close to sources of heat such as incandescent lights
• or heating/cooling registers.
• In direct sunlight.
• On exterior, non-insulated or poorly insulated walls.
• In the kitchen or other areas of potentially high heat and/or humidity. In an area that could restrict airflow.

To Install the Smart Thermostat:

1. Remove the front cover of the Smart Thermostat,  insert a flat-head screwdriver into one of the slots as shown below and gently twist the screwdriver.
2. Place the Smart Thermostat backplate on the wall. Make sure that any existing wires can be inserted through the opening for the wiring.
3. Using the backplate as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes on the wall as shown below.
4. Move the backplate out of the way and make holes where indicated in step 3. The mounting holes can accommodate a #6 pan-head screw.
5. Use drywall plugs or other screw anchors (not included) to ensure the Smart Thermostat can be mounted securely to the wall.
6. Fasten the backplate to the wall using the appropriate screws (not included).

Connecting the Smart Thermostat to the Equipment Interface
Only four wires are needed to connect the Smart Thermostat to the Equipment Interface. If you are replacing a Thermostat, you can use the existing wiring.
Note: Ensure any unused wires do not have exposed bare copper conductors.
Follow these steps to connect the Smart Thermostat to the

Equipment Interface:

1. 1. Connect the wires between the Smart Thermostat and Equipment Interface as shown below.
   2. Attach the front cover of the Smart Thermostat to the backplate. Ensure the four pins on the circuit board mate with the terminal block on the backplate as shown below.

The Thermostat comes with a factory installed, coin cell battery. When replacing the battery ensure the + side of the battery is facing out and the battery contacts remain in the upright position (not bent underneath the battery). The battery should snap in easily.
Connecting Power
Once you’ve completed the wiring of the Smart Thermostat and Equipment Interface, you can apply power to the Equipment Interface and restore power to the heating and air conditioning equipment.
There are two methods of powering the Smart
Thermostat. You can power it directly from a 24VAC source capable of at least 3VA.
The second method requires the optional 120V to 12Vdc power adaptor. Plug the power supply into a standard electrical outlet and plug the barrel connector into the Equipment Interface.

Equipment Interface Status LED

The Equipment Interface has four LEDs to display the status of the system.
If you’ve wired the system correctly, only the Power LED should be on.

The LEDs operate as follows:

• Power This LED monitors the power supply of the Equipment Interface.
  • LED ON Power is connected to the Equipment Interface and is within the appropriate voltage range.
  • LED OFF Power is disconnected or has dropped below 9V.
• System This LED monitors the operation of the Equipment Interface.
  • LED ON There is a fault with the Equipment Interface.
  • LED OFF The equipment interface is operational.
• Line This LED monitors the power supplied to the Smart Thermostat from the Equipment Interface.
  • LED ON The voltage at the +12V and GND terminal has dropped below 7V.
  • LED OFF Adequate power is being supplied to the Smart Thermostat.
• Communication This LED monitors the communication between the Smart Thermostat and the Equipment Interface (i.e., the D+ and D- terminals).
  • LED ON The Equipment Interface and Smart Thermostat are not communicating with each other.
  • LED OFF The two devices are communicating properly.

Navigating the Smart Thermostat
Once the Smart Thermostat and Equipment Interface are powered up and working correctly, you can begin configuring the system.
The Smart Thermostat uses touchscreen technology, so it’s easy to navigate – just tap the icons, buttons and lists.
Note: To prevent damage to the touch screen, never use a sharp object such as a pen.

When the screen shows a list setting an arrow on the right, it indicates there are more than two options to choose from.
If there is no arrow, then the list item only has two options.
Toggle between options by pressing the list item.
In the various screens, you have three navigation choices:
Press Done to save changes and move to the next screen.
Press Cancel to go back to the previous screen without saving changes.
At any time, press the Home button (found on the right-hand side of the touch screen). This cancels any action and takes you back to the home screen.

Pressing the Caps key will allow you to enter capital letters; pressing the 123@ key will change the letters to numbers or commonly used symbols.

Configuring the Smart Thermostat

Configuring the Installer Settings
Installer Settings let you configure the settings related to the various devices (such as a furnace, air conditioner, humidifier, dehumidifier or ventilator) that are connected to the Equipment Interface.
To prevent accidental modifications to these settings you can enable a 4-digit installer code. This code is pre-programmed to 3262 and can be enabled in the Thresholds option menu.
Installation Wizard
The Installation Wizard takes you step-by-step through a series of choices regarding the HVAC equipment intended to be connected to the Equipment Interface. Simply answer the questions accordingly and press Next to advance to the next screen. Once completed you will be shown a diagram of the wiring connections that reflects the choices made during the wizard process. You can press Back to go back and make any changes. Once you are satisfied with the setup, press Done.
Equipment
The equipment setting will allow you to manually configure the various devices that are connected to the Equipment Interface.

Heat Pump
This section allows you to enable and configure up to a 2-stage heat pump. If a second stage is required you must configure an Accessory relay to control that stage

• Geothermal/Ground Source Heat pump If you select Yes, this tells the system a geothermal or ground source heat pump is being controlled. This helps the Thermostat determine optimum performance and default settings. If you select NO, the system will optimize for an air-to-air heat pump.
• O/B Energize on Cool If you choose Yes, the reversing valve output (O/B terminal) will activate when there is a call for cooling. If you select No, the relay will energize when there is call for heat.
• Min Cycle Off Time Enables you to configure the compressor off time between cycles. This is adjustable from 240 – 900 Seconds.
• Min Outdoor Temp Allows you to set the minimum outside air temperature at which the compressor will be disabled. This performs two functions: You can set it to prevent the compressor from going on when the outdoor temperature is too low, thus resulting in damage to the compressor. You can also set this value to determine when you want the auxiliary heat (if installed) to engage to help meet the set temperature. The temperature range is adjustable from 0°F (-17.8°C) – 65°F (18.3°C) or can be completely disabled. You will need an internet connection for this feature to operate properly.
• Allow Heat Pump/Auxiliary Heat to Run Simultaneously
  If you select Yes and there is a source of auxiliary heat, it will turn on in addition to the heat pump. The heat pump will be energized for the first 30 minutes. If, after 30 minutes, the set point has not been met, the auxiliary heat will be energized to assist the heat pump in meeting the load.
  If you select no, the heat pump will be energized for up to 2 hours. If after 2 hours the set point has not been met, the Thermostat will shut down the heat pump and energize the auxiliary heat to meet the set point. This option should also be used for installation where the heat pump evaporator coil is downstream from the source of auxiliary heat.

Furnace (Auxiliary Heat)
Allows you to enable and configure up to a 3-stage conventional heat source. If you have selected Heat pump as your primary source, this feature will allow you to configure the auxiliary heat connected to the system.

• Furnace Type Allows you to configure the type of furnace connected. This allows the Smart Thermostat to optimize its algorithms based on the type of fuel and typical characteristics of the chosen system. Choose the option that best represents the type of heating system installed.
• Heat Stages Allows you to configure up to 3 stages of heat. If you require a third stage, you must configure an accessory relay to control that stage.
• Heat Fan Control This option allows you to determine if the system fan is controlled by the system during heat cycles, or if the Thermostat is required to control the fan. Normally the HVAC system controls the fanB during heat cycles.

Air Conditioner
Allows you to enable and configure up to 2 stages of air conditioning. If you require a second stage, you must configure an accessory relay to control that stage.

Staging Method of Operation
The ecobee Smart Thermostat uses a unique method for staging for multi-stage heating or cooling. It uses a combination of intelligent algorithms and past performance to determine when to activate the stages. When there is a call for heat or cool, the system computes how long it would take for the system to reach the desired set point in stage 1, stage 2 or stage 3 accordingly. It will determine the highest stage at which a minimum of 10 minutes of run time is required. It will then automatically start the system at that stage (ie if it calculates that it will take 15 minutes at stage 2 but only 7 minutes at stage 3, the system will immediately turn on stage 2 to meet the set point). If the calculation indicates to start at stage 1, and it takes more than 10 minutes to reach the set point, it will automatically engage stage 2. If stage 2 runs for more than 10 minute without reaching the set point it will activate stage 3. A minimum run time of 10 minutes is used to ensure that proper circulation throughout the system and that minimum cycle times are maintained. For heat pumps with auxiliary heat, the operation of the auxiliary heat will depend on the configuration of the Allow Heat Pump/Auxiliary Heat to Run Simultaneously.
Accessory relays
Accessory relays are generic relays that can be configured to control the following;

• Heat Stage 3 Select this option when the Thermostat is required to control a 3-stage conventional heating system. Connect the third stage (or W3) contact to this accessory relay.
• Auxiliary Heat Stage 2 Select this option when the Thermostat is required to control a heat pump system with 2 stages of Auxiliary heat. Connect the second stage of the auxiliary heat to this relay.
• Compressor/AC Stage 2 Select this option when the Thermostat is required to control either a 2 stage heat pump or a 2 stage air conditioner. Connect the Y2 terminal of the system to this relay.
• Humidifier Select this option when the Thermostat is required to control a humidifier. When this option is selected you will also be able to configure the following:
  • Humidify only while heating If Yes is chosen, the system will activate this relay when the current humidity is below the humidity set point and there is a call for heat.
    If No is chosen the system will activate this relay and the system fan when the current humidity is below the humidity set point. This is designed to support steam-type humidifiers
  • Window Efficiency To optimize the frost control feature of this system the system needs to know the efficiency ratio of the windows within the area being controlled. Options are Low, Medium and High.
    NEW Min Runtime Delta Determines how far from the set point, the system will maintain to reduce short cycling of the equipment.
• Dehumidifier On a call for cool, if the current humidity is above the set point, this relay will be activated. When this option is selected you will also be able to configure if you wish to enable the fan during the dehumidification cycle. Choose yes if you are using the air conditioning system to dehumidify, choose No if you are using a standalone dehumidification system that independently controls the system fan.
  • NEW Min Runtime Delta Determines how far from
    the set point, the system will maintain to reduce short cycling of the equipment.
  • NEW Dehumidify in Heat Mode Allows you to control the dehumidification even when the system is in heat mode.
  • NEW Dehumidifier Active Allow you to configure if the active stat of this relay is open or closed.
• Ventilator Activated when the user engages Ventilator
  Max from the Details screen. The system fan will also turn on when Ventilator Max is engaged

Thresholds

This section will allow you to configure the various temperature or time thresholds associated with the heating and cooling equipment. You must configure the required equipment first before setting the thresholds, and only the application thresholds will be shown (i.e. if no air conditioner is configured, you will not see the options related to air conditioners).
Allow Auto Heat/Cool
Enable this option to allow the user to select auto change-over as a system mode.
Heat/Cool Min Delta
The minimum difference between the heat mode set temperature and the cool mode set temperature when the system mode is in auto change-over.

Compressor Settings

• Min Cycle Off Time Allows you to configure the compressor off time between cycles. This ensures the compressor does not short cycle which could affect the operating life of the system. This is adjustable from 240 – 900 seconds.
• Min Outdoor Temp This section allows you to set the minimum outside air temperature at which the compressor will be disabled. This performs two functions: You can set it to prevent the compressor from going on when the outdoor temperature is too low, thus resulting in damage to the compressor. You can also set this value to determine when you want the auxiliary heat (if installed) to engage to help meet the set temperature. The temperature range is adjustable from 0°F (-17.8°C) – 65°F (18.3°C) or can be completely disabled. You will need an internet connection for this feature to operate properly..
• AC Overcool Max When using the AC to dehumidify, the section allows you to program how many degrees below the current set point the Thermostat will run in order to reach the dehumidify set point.

Aux Heat Settings
Max Outdoor Temperature Allows you to set the maximum outdoor temperature threshold. Above this level, the auxiliary heat will not be activated. Instead, the heat pump will maintain the set point.

Common Heat/Cool Settings

• Heat Differential Temp The minimum difference between the current temperature and set temperature before the system calls for heat. A smaller difference means a more comfortable environment, whereas a larger difference is more economical.
• Heat Dissipation Time The amount of time the fan will run after the heat set point has been reached and the call for heat has been turned off. Running the fan for a period of time allows for any heated air left in the ducts to circulate throughout the home.
• Cool Differential Temp The minimum difference between the current temperature and the set temperature.
• Cool Dissipation Time The amount of time the fan will run after the cool has been turned off. Running the fan for a period of time allows for any cooled air left in the ducts to circulate throughout the home.

Advanced Settings

This section will allow you to customize how long each stage will run before the next stage will turn on. You may also program when a particular stage is turned on based on the temperature delta between the set temperature and the current temperature.

• NEW Reverse staging If this option is enabled, the thermostat will cycle down from the higher stages so that as it approaches set point it will only be running in stage 1. The HVAC equipment will start in stage 1. As the stage 1 temperature delta is exceeded, the second stage will engage. Once the equipment has brought the current temperature back to the temperature delta, stage 2 will disengage and stage 1
  remain running until the set point is meet.
• Stage X Maximum Runtime The maximum amount of time X stage will run before engaging the next stage. Options are Auto and 10-120 minutes
• Stage X Temperature Delta The minimum difference between the current temperature and the set temperature that will activate this stage (regardless if the maximum run time of the previous stage was reached). Options are Auto and 1-10F.
• Comp to Aux Runtime The maximum amount of time this stage will run before engaging the next stage.
  Options are Auto and 10-180 minutes
• Comp to Aux Temp Delta The minimum difference between the current temperature and the set temperature that will activate this stage (regardless if the maximum run time of the previous stage was reached). Options are Auto and 1-10F.
• Cool Min On Time Sets the minimum equipment run time in cool mode.
• Heat Min On Time Sets the minimum equipment run time in heat mode.
