Is there an energy report / analysis of HVAC performance that ecobee provides. If so what does it cover and how do you get it (on-demand or monthly)?

Home IQ on there web site shows you a report on usage and environmental factors.

The answer is yes, but I don't use it. I ages downloading the instructions that come with the unit. They had a lot of info on its reporting capabilities. Or just call their customer support and ask them.

The energy report/analysis of your HVAC system is part of the ecobee system. It will tabulate all the data collected for a given month and graph it for you. It covers how much energy you used, how your usage compared to others in the area, how your usage was affected by the weather in your area, and then gives your house a efficiency rating.

Your account at ecobee.com has a section called HomeIQ which contains a lot of data. There are three sections. The most detailed is the "Reports" section which includes is a graph showing every 5 minutes of the day, including: desired heat/cool (your settings), actual indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, and how many minutes (of 5) your A/C and fan were running. All of this can be downloaded by date (up to a maximum of 3 months of data at a time, but you could grab a whole year in 4 downloads) into an Excel spreadsheet for you to do your own analysis. In addition to these details, there's an "insights" section which you can select by month historically, telling you how you did compared to the average for your state/province, and comparing your use month to month. Finally there's a HomeIQ details page showing your monthly average raw runtime (heat and cool) and monthly weather-adjusted runtime (by degree-day). You can see examples of the HomeIQ details and insights pages here: http://www.ecobee.com/solutions/home/home-iq/

ecobee shows you live data on a chart regarding temp, humidity and stage of cooling/heating. Monthly reports are ok; it shows you a rating on your homes efficiency and comparison to others, however it isn't the best. Different heat types will cause you to be compared lower than average, even if you were more efficient (heat pump vs electric for example).

Yes, it does have a usage function that will display recent usage. I no longer reside where I installed the thermostat so I don't recall the limitations. I think just day and week usage.

I have no clue. My electric bill from last summer was unchanged from the previous year, so I'm guessing not much (I live in a very small condo with pretty low electrical use, so I should notice any significant changes). I used the fan on it's lowest setting mostly all last summer, have not used it more than a day so far this year.

Does this unit measure watt usage. I'm on solar and want to see ceiling fan usage independently as will as everything on at one time. Not concerned about total KWH and cost. Too, do I see where the unit clips on inline feed and then there is a remote that I can carry around without a computer. If so, this is what I'm looking for.

That's a very good question. I can say that my TH6220D1028 handles my needs very well for my oil furnace and A/C system, a fairly standard setup. I suggest you call Honeywell and ask them what the differebce might be. I belteve you can reach them at 800-468-1502.

The ecobee published specifications are as follows: Heat: 45F - 79F Cool: 58F - 92F Display: 40F - 100F Sensitivity: +/- 1F Equipment interface operating: -40F - 160F Thermostat operating: 32F - 130F

What does it do: Measure the KW/h that your house is using on realtime, by day (and average), by week (and average) and by month (and average). How does it do it: You clamp sensors on the cables that enter your breaker box, and the sensor transmit this information to the device. They have a very good range of action

Norm, did you find a thermostat that can offer what you were looking for? I'm looking for the same thing, 77 in the summer and 68 in the winter. I haven't seen one yet that can allow 4 daily temperature changes while maintaining seperate profiles for summer and winter

I am not sure how to measure the actual output the unit is producing so I cannot comment on whether the rating is accurate. I can only comment that thus far the unit has cooled a 10 X 10 bedroom very nicely for me. We are very happy with the Whynter unit so far.

Not sure but mine never worked properly as a WiFi thermostat so I got sick of the lousy customer service and purchased an ECOBEE and it works great and has a wireless temp sensor standard and extras are available.

Hi Magnvs, Your assumption is correct. This is one of my favorite products within my zwave network. The energy monitoring feature is excellent and when you pick up the unit you can tell you have a solid, well built product in your hands. If I can be of further help let me know. Take care.

I have a single zone also. My a/c is not automatic at all, works just fine. I read some peoples it didnt work,but i have no complaints.

I don't have a manual, however, I can say that mine ran several months without incident of CO, and I was venting the exhaust indoors. It was an unoccupied indoor garden, but it did have a CO monitor to make sure there were no dangers during watering times and such. I would use a CO monitor around any burning appliance now. We have the technology and it's fairly inexpensive. But in any case mine burned Clean if that helps your decision. I wouldn't vent it against manufacturer specs like I did,however mine performed fine.

The Energy Efficiency Ratio is listed at 9.8. But this is a bit misleading. This model will use way less energy over 12 months than a cool only AC with a seer of 10-20 + a space heater.

See http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/estimating-appliance-and-home-electronic-energy-use The unit is 580 watts. Based on the calculator on the above page, I probably spend about $12/month to run the distiller (I distill about a gallon per day). Assuming I've done the math right ;)

Only way to determine that is to 1. Check power bills before and after use or 2. Look at power consumption 1500w and multiply by cost per 1000w (1kw) you pay for electricity. My unit is used to get one room (150sq ft) in my 1700 square ft house really warm and this saves me money.

I wish I knew, I don't know. Check the BTUs but the one I bought works great. Nice and warm in the in between seasons. For everyday use the home version is fine. Possibly the grade of metal is better?
