How to enable Follow Me mode  
Go to MAIN MENU SENSORS FOLLOW ME set to Enabled from your thermostat's screen or in the app.  
When Follow Me is disabled, the ecobee will follow your sensor participation rules assigned to each Comfort  
Setting. Note: The thermostat will follow the “Home” Comfort Setting participation rules and ignore Follow Me if the  
following occurs:  
No occupancy is detected from any sensors  
How does follow me function under the “sleep” comfort setting?  
In the Sleep period when no motion is detected, Follow Me defaults to averaging temperature across the selected  
sensors in your network. However, if any motion is detected, Follow Me will use this information to heat/cool  
appropriate rooms.  
What happens if none of the sensors participating in the active Comfort Setting report motion?  
If none of your participating sensors report motion for 30 minutes, your ecobee will set the temperature based on  
the average of all participating sensors (even in the Sleep Comfort Setting).  
I'm spending most of my time in the living room this evening, and I just walked by my kitchen's SmartSensor. I don't  
want a single reading from my kitchen sensor to determine my home's temperature. In Follow Me mode, how much  
weight does my ecobee assign to a single reading versus the many readings from the living SmartSensor?  
If you walk by a sensor and it detects occupancy, the weight your ecobee assigns to that single reading in  
calculating the home temperature will be low. In this scenario, most of the weighting will be given to the occupancy  
readings from the SmartSensor in your living room. To put it differently, the more time you spend in front of a  
particular sensor the more weight your ecobee will assign to that sensor's readings.  
When I leave a room, how long will it be until that SmartSensor's temperature readings no longer factor into my  
ecobee's temperature averaging calculation?  
Follow Me includes participating sensors that have detected occupancy within the past 30 minutes.  
If you leave a room and its sensor stops detecting motion, that sensor's temperature readings will be gradually (not  
immediately) removed from your ecobee's set point calculation over a 30-minute period.  
If 30 minutes pass with no occupancy detected, that sensor's reading will be excluded until occupancy is detected  
again.  
What happens to Follow Me mode if I manually adjust the temperature while it's running?  
Adjusting the temperature on your thermostat or in the app with the temperature slider (i.e. placing a Manual Hold)  
activates the Home Comfort Setting. When Home is active the sensors participating in that Comfort Setting  
participate in Follow Me mode.  
To cancel a Manual Hold and 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.
