Using a Hold setting on my ecobee thermostat:  
Whenever you manually adjust your ecobee to a different temperature that is not the scheduled set point, your  
ecobee will go into a “hold." This means instead of following your set schedule, your thermostat will follow the hold  
action until the hold is manually cancelled, or until your preferred hold action setting kicks in.  
You can set a hold action in a variety of ways – by manually changing the temperature either on the thermostat  
itself or the app, through the Quick Changes menu selecting "home for now" or "away for now”, or if you are  
using any 3rd party apps such as Alexa, HomeKit, Smart Things, or Google. Any manual changes made through  
with the quick changes menu, or selecting home/ away for now, will result in indefinite holds and will need to be  
manually cancelled.  
How does sensor participation work when there is a hold? Any time you make a manual adjustment and put the  
thermostat in a hold, your sensors will follow the sensor participation of your Home comfort setting. This is  
hardcoded into the ecobee and these parameters cannot be changed.  
How do I adjust the hold setting? You can change your hold preference to hold for 2 hours, 4 hours, Until the Next  
Scheduled Activity, Until I Change It or Decide at the Time of Change.  
To do this, just tap MAIN MENU SETTINGS PREFERENCES HOLD ACTION and make the changes you  
like.  
How do I cancel a hold? Easy! You will just want to tap on the "X" in the top left corner of the text box on the  
thermostat, or select the "Cancel" text box on the app. By cancelling the hold, the thermostat will resume your  
schedule.
