Ecobee SMART - Understanding Alerts; List of System Alerts

Minimum On Time This feature allows the homeowner to deter-
mine a minimum time per hour that the furnace fan will run. This
results in increased air circulation and a more consistent tempera-
ture within the home. This is more cost eective than choosing
the ON position for the fan
In either mode, the Smart Thermostat will ensure that when your
vacation ends the thermostat will revert to the regular settings.
Note: If you were running your regular program prior to the start of
your vacation, on your return the Smart Thermostat will restore your
home to those settings. If you were in Hold mode prior to the start of
your vacation, the Smart Thermostat will restore the home to whatever
the set temperature was just prior to your vacation.
UNDERSTANDING
ALERTS
From time to time your ecobee system will display an alert. For ex-
ample, the alert might be a reminder to change the furnace lter,
or perform regular maintenance.
If you have a ood sensor installed in your house the system can
alert you when water is detected, potentially saving you thou-
sands of dollars from damage due to ooding.
If you have enabled the Internet connection to your Smart
Thermostat, these alerts can also be sent to you via e-mail.
When an alert displays, you can dismiss it or ask to be reminded later.
For example, if you receive a furnace lter alert and choose Remind me
later, the alert will clear and display again 24 hours later. If you choose
OK when the alert displays, it will reset the reminder.
