Thermostat HVAC settings for all system types:  
These settings can be accessed by selecting MENU SETTINGS INSTALLATION SETTINGS   
THRESHOLDS. Additionally, to access the manual staging options requires changing Configure Staging from  
Automatic to Manual.  
Auto Heat/Cool: This setting allows you to set your system mode to “Auto.” This is enabled by default. In Auto  
mode, the thermostat will engage both your heating or cooling as necessary. This mode is most useful if you live in  
a region where the temperature fluctuates regularly or you’re in the middle of a season change and you may need  
both heating and cooling at different times during the day.  
Heat/Cool Minimum Delta: The minimum temperature difference between the desired Heat and Cool set points in  
Auto mode. You will not be able to adjust the temperature range in Auto mode below this value. This is set to  
5F/2.8C by default, meaning the shortest range you can maintain in Auto mode is 5F (70–75, for example). The  
lowest possible range in Auto mode the ecobee can maintain is 2F/1.1C. This setting prevents your equipment  
from short cycling.  
Heat Dissipation Time: The amount of time the fan will continue to run once the heat is turned off. This is set to auto  
by default. Running the fan after a call for heat will expel any heated air remaining in the ducts and circulate it  
through your home. If you notice your fan may be running longer than you would like once a call for heat is finished,  
you can adjust this value.  
Cool Dissipation Time: The amount of time the fan will continue to run once the cooling is turned off. This is set to  
auto by default. Running the fan after a call for cooling will expel any cool air remaining in the ducts and circulate it  
through your home. If you notice your fan may be running longer than you would like once a call for air conditioning  
is finished, you can adjust this value.  
Heat Differential Temperature: The minimum temperature differential before engaging heat. This is set to  
0.5F/0.3C by default. This setting will wait for the temperature in your home to drop by this value (0.5F/0.3C in  
the default scenario) below your set point before engaging your heat. For example, if your Heat set point is 72F,  
the ecobee will wait until the temperature in your home drops below 71.5F before engaging your heat. This setting  
prevents your equipment from short cycling and helps to conserve energy.  
NOTE: During "Away" periods or Custom Comfort Settings set to "I'm Usually Away", an additional 1°F/0.6°C  
degree differential will be added to your set temperature when deciding to call for heating.  
Cool Differential Temp: The minimum temperature differential before engaging cooling. This is set to 0.5F/0.3C  
by default. This setting will wait for the temperature in your home to rise by this value (0.5F/0.3C in the default  
scenario) above your set point before engaging your air conditioning. For example, if your Cool set point is 72F,  
the ecobee will engage your air conditioning when the temperature in your home reaches above 72.5F. This  
setting prevents your equipment from short cycling and helps to conserve energy.  
NOTE: During "Away" periods or Custom Comfort Settings set to "I'm Usually Away", an additional 1°F/0.6°C  
degree differential will be added to your set temperature when deciding to call for heating.
