CONNECTING YOUR SMART
THERMOSTAT TO THE INTERNET
You can manage your ecobee system using the color
touch screen on the Smart Thermostat or from your
secure, personalized web portal. Internet access lets you:
Program, congure and control your Smart Thermostat
Control your Smart Thermostat from anywhere you
have Internet access.
Use local weather data to maximize energy savings.
Receive important alerts and reminders about your
heating and cooling system.
Note: To connect your system to your personalized ecobee
web portal you must have a broadband Internet connection
and a wireless home network.
WiFi Specications
Your Smart Thermostat is designed to support:
A 802.11 b g wireless router
WEP 64, WEP 128, WPA1 and WPA2 encryption methods
Dynamic or static IP addressing.
Setting up WiFi
The Smart Thermostat has a wireless interface that connects
to any home wireless network. You must enable the WiFi
radio in the Smart Thermostat and congure it in order
to access your home wireless network.
When the WiFi radio is turned on, the Smart Thermostat
displays a list of available networks, along with an
indication of the signal strength and whether security
encryption is used.
If your home network is not listed, or if the signal strength
is very low, try readjusting the antenna on your wireless
router. If that doesn’t improve the signal you may need
to relocate your router.
Once your network has been detected, select it and
continue with the conguration. If the network is
encrypted, you will be asked to enter a password for
that network. This is the password you created when
the wireless router was rst set up.
Using the MAC address
You may have congured your network to lter for
known MAC addresses. If so, refer to the section About
your Smart Thermostat on page 6 of this manual to nd
the MAC address for your Smart Thermostat.
Advanced Conguration
Advanced conguration lets you input your network
parameters manually. Select this list item and choose
the network you wish to connect to, or it will allow
you to add one to the list (i.e. if your network does not
broadcast its SSID). You will then be able to view and
congure the following:
Dynamic or Static IP addressing
SSID
Password
Type of Encryption
WiFi Channel
IP Address
IP Subnet
Gateway
Primary and Secondary DNS
