Adjusting temperature for humidity:  
When the feature to adjust for humidity is enabled, eco+ uses both humidity and temperature readings to calculate  
your home's temperature. In doing so, eco+ finds opportunities to lower your energy bill when it's dry in summer,  
and when its humid in winter. How does it work? First, eco+ averages out humidity data over the past 10  
days. It then looks at the current temperature and humidity level to calculate the adjusted for humidity  
temperature.  
What happens when humidity is high? When humidity is particularly high compared to the average level over the  
past few days, any given temperature will feel warmer than it normally would. In winter, that's when the adjustment  
for humidity kicks in: the ecobee won't heat the house as much as it normally would at the same temperature,  
leading to energy savings.  
What happens when humidity is low? When humidity is significantly lower than the average level over the past few  
days, any given temperature will feel cooler than it normally would. In summer, that's when the adjustment for  
humidity kicks in: the thermostat won't cool the home as much as it normally would at the same temperature,  
helping you save energy and feel the same way you would when humidity levels were normal.  
How do I know when the thermostat is adjusting for humidity? Any time the humidity affects the temperature  
reading on your thermostat by more than 1ºF, the eco+ icon will appear on the screen. If you disable eco+ for the  
day, this feature will be disabled until midnight.  
You can enable or disable eco+'s ability to adjust the temperature for humidity at any time from your eco+ settings  
in the ecobee app.  
Notes:  
The eco+ ability to adjust temperature for humidity lives on the thermostat itself which means that even if  
the thermostat is offline it will continue to be active.  
This feature is not affected by the eco+ comfort preference slider.
