Ecobee EMS - Sensor Action Configuration

NEW Setting Up the Remote Sensor Inputs
Name
To enable, simply enter a name for this input (i.e. Door
Sensor). To disable this input delete the name assigned.
Type
This denes the type of input.
Congure In this section you can choose from a
predetermined list of commonly available sensors. If
your sensor is not on the list you can create a new one
by entering the specic parameters. For temperature
you will need the B value of the sensor or the
resistance value of the sensor at 70F (21C) These are
found on the sensor manufacturers’ data sheet.
Note: The Remote Sensors support only 10K NTC-type
temperature sensors.
Usage
This section is to congure what function this sensor
needs to perform
Control Sensor This option congures the sensor
to be part of the HVAC control. The sensor can
then be congured to replace or be part of a the
Thermostat Set temperature. Refer to page 46 to
congure Set Temperature Average.
Monitoring Sensor This option congures the
sensor to monitor areas independently of the HVAC
system (ie freezers, wine cellars etc).
Outdoor Sensor This options allows you to use an
outdoor temperature sensor in place of the internet
weather feed. The value measured here will be used
for any control or dual fuel algorithms and it will be
displayed on the Thermostat. The Thermostat will
continue to use the internet weather feed for the
5-day forecast
Discharge Air Sensor This options is specically
designed for a sensor intended to measure
discharge air temperature. This operates similar
to a monitoring type system, only in this case you
would set a desired operating temperature range
rather than a minimum or maximum threshold.
Congure Action For the Monitoring and Discharge
Air Sensor or dry contact sensors you can program
certain actions when the sensor activates or reaches
a pre-programmed threshold. First determine the
threshold(s) at which the action will take place, then
you would set the action you want to occur. Possible
action types are:
Do Nothing No specic action will occur if this
option is selected.
Switch to Occupied* Switches the system to the
Occupied program when the input is activated.
Unoccupied* Switches the system to the
Unoccupied program when the input is activated.
* The Economizer and/or Occupancy relay outputs, if
congured, will also be switched to the appropriate
state when this input is congured and activated.
Shut Down Compressor/Humidier The
compressor (both for AC or Heat pump) or the
humidier/dehumidier will shutdown and
remain shutdown until this input is cleared
Shut down AC The air conditioning system will
shutdown and will remain shutdown until this
input has cleared
Adjust Temperature** When the input is
activated the heat and/or cool set points can be
adjusted by a preprogrammed amount. It will
revert back to the original set point when the
input has cleared.
Activate Output Relay*** When the input is
activated, a User dened relay will be activated.
Turn on Fan When the input is activated, the air
handler fan will turn on.
Disable Auxiliary Heat When the input is
activated, the auxiliary heat outputs will be
disabled (even on a call for heat).
Shutdown All HVAC When the input is activated,
the HVAC system will be turned o.
Disable All Heat When the input is activated, all
heating stages will be disabled
