SmartSensor participation FAQ’s:  
How does my ecobee thermostat manage sensor participation when it's changing from one Comfort Setting to the  
next (e.g. from Home to Sleep, or Home to Away)?  
Because each Comfort Setting might have an entirely different mixture of participating sensors, a sudden change  
from one Comfort Setting to another could result in a rapid rise or drop in average temperature. To avoid this, your  
ecobee makes the transition from one Comfort Setting to the next gradually. This process usually takes about 30  
minutes.  
How does sensor participation work when I adjust the temperature manually?  
Adjusting the temperature with your ecobee's temperature slider or in the app activates your Home Comfort  
Setting. (This is called placing a Manual Hold.)  
When your Home Comfort Setting is active, your ecobee sets the temperature by averaging out the temperature  
readings from each SmartSensor participating in that Comfort Setting. (To resume your scheduled Comfort  
Setting, tap the X icon on your ecobee's Home Screen, using the app? Press Cancel on the thermostat Home  
Screen.)  
Good to know: By default, a Manual Hold continues until you cancel it. You can adjust this setting according to  
your preference by going to the following screen on your thermostat or in the app: MAIN MENU SETTINGS   
PREFERENCES HOLD ACTION  
When a SmartSensor isn't participating in a Comfort Setting, what does my ecobee thermostat do with its reading?  
When a sensor isn't participating, it still reports the temperature to the thermostat, but the reading isn't used to help  
determine the average home temperature.  
How can I tell which sensors are participating in the current Comfort Setting?  
Go to MAIN MENU SENSORS on the thermostat, the ecobee app or the Web Portal and look for the following  
icons:  
The sensor is currently active/participating (sensor is filled in with white)  
The sensor is currently inactive/not participating (sensor is hollow)  
The sensor is not connected and not participating (sensor is hollow and has no signal waves)
