Heat Minimum On Time: The minimum amount of time your furnace/boiler will stay on during a call for heat. This is  
set to 300 seconds (5 minutes) by default. If your furnace/boiler is engaged and then the call for heat is  
immediately cancelled, the furnace will continue running for this set value (5 minutes) before turning off.  
AC Overcool Max: This setting will allow the air conditioner to overcool (run past your Cool set point) by this value  
to decrease humidity. This setting is useful if you live in a humid climate/have issues with high humidity levels in  
your home.  
Temperature Correction: If you notice that the ecobee’s temperature sensor may be slightly off, you can adjust this  
+ or – 10 degrees for a more accurate reading.  
Humidity Correction: If you notice that the ecobee’s humidity sensor may be slightly off, you can adjust this + or –  
10 % for a more accurate reading.  
Thermal Protect: The minimum temperature reading difference between sensors that will trigger the algorithm to  
ignore the inaccurate sensor reading. This range tells your thermostat the maximum difference allowed between  
the thermostat and hottest or coldest rooms in your home. If a sensor measures a temperature that is significantly  
outside of this range, it probably means the reading is inaccurate. Your ecobee will ignore this inaccurate reading  
to prevent your heating or cooling from running excessively.  
Compressor & Heat/Aux Staging settings:  
Compressor Minimum Cycle Off Time: The amount of time the compressor remains off between cycles. This is set  
to 300 seconds (5 minutes) by default. Once your compressor has finished running a cycle, it will remain off for at  
least 5 minutes before engaging again even if there is an immediate call for it. This setting prevents your  
compressor from short cycling, so we recommend leaving this at 300 seconds to prevent any potential damage to  
your compressor.  
Compressor Minimum On Time: The minimum amount of time the compressor will stay on. This is set to 300  
seconds (5 minutes) by default. If your compressor is engaged and then the call is immediately cancelled, the  
compressor will continue running for this set value (5 minutes) before turning off. This setting prevents your  
compressor from short cycling, so we recommend leaving this at 300 seconds to prevent any potential damage to  
your compressor.  
Compressor Min Outdoor Temperature: The compressor will not run below this outdoor temperature. This is set to  
35F/1.7C by default. Before adjusting this setting, we recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of your heat  
pump/compressor to inquire about the safest setting. Running your compressor at a temperature below what it can  
handle can damage the equipment and is ill-advised.  
If you have a heat pump with auxiliary heating, when the outdoor temperature drops below this value, the  
ecobee will engage your aux heat and rely on aux heat to heat your home. If you’re receiving many “Aux  
heat running” alerts, you may want to adjust this setting (after confirming with your heat pump  
manufacturer the lowest temperature your heat pump can safely function at). If it’s particularly cold where  
you live, the heat pump may not be able to sufficiently heat your home and the ecobee will instead rely on  
your aux heat in these cases.
