Smart Home/Away:  
With Smart Home/Smart Away enabled, when your thermostat senses your home during a scheduled Away period  
or away during a scheduled Home period, it automatically overrides your schedule for comfort (Smart Home) or  
savings (Smart Away). So even when your schedule changes, your ecobee knows to adjust on its own helping you  
save energy and stay comfortable.  
Smart Home/Away works independently of the sensor participation rules you've set up for your Comfort Settings.  
That's to say, it acts upon the occupancy readings from all of your sensors—not just the ones participating in the  
scheduled Comfort Setting. Smart Home and Smart Away cannot be triggered during a scheduled Sleep period.  
How it works  
By using the occupancy information reported by your ecobee thermostat's built-in occupancy sensor* and the  
SmartSensor(s) paired with your ecobee, Smart Home/Away tracks your household's comings and goings to set  
the temperature for comfort or savings.  
* ecobee3 lite does not have a built-in occupancy sensor. Not to worry! Pair it with SmartSensor to take advantage  
of ecobee Smart Features like Smart Home/Away and Follow Me mode.  
SMART HOME  
When your ecobee senses someone's home during a scheduled Away period...  
And the following conditions are met:  
The Away or Custom Away Comfort Setting has been active for over an hour.  
Smart Home hasn't been active for at least two hours.  
Smart Home intelligently switches on your Home Comfort Setting for maximum comfort.  
How long does Smart Home run for?  
When it's active, Smart Home will stay in effect until a) two hours pass with no occupancy detected; b) it is  
cancelled; or c) the start of the next scheduled Comfort Setting.  
What temperature set points are in effect when Smart Home is running?  
Smart Home uses your Home Comfort Setting's hot and cold set points.  
SMART AWAY  
When your ecobee senses nobody's home during a scheduled Home period...  
And:  
No occupancy has been detected for two straight hours during a scheduled Home period or when Smart  
Home is running.  
Smart Away intelligently overrides your usual schedule—helping you save on your energy bill.  
How long does Smart Away run for?  
Smart Away runs until it detects occupancy or until the start of the next scheduled Away period.
