Summary:
Ecobee 3 Lite is great for those who want to maximize savings and comfort. While the new Nest Thermostat is the smarter out of the box and more affordable.
Let’s talk about Ecobee’s three advantages over Nest.
#1 - HomeKit Support
Nest will work fine for iPhone users, but Ecobee gives iPhone users easier temperature access.
Ecobee can be controlled with Siri, the Apple Home app, or in the iPhone's control center (a swipe down from the top right corner).
#2 - SmartSensors
SmartSensors are tiny golf ball-sized devices that read occupancy and temperature in any room they’re placed in.
With a couple of sensors in your house, Ecobee will understand the true temperature of your house by averaging the temperatures from each of your sensors. Sensors are an advantage for large or old houses with temperature irregularities, or houses with the thermostat in a strange location.
If the sensors detect no one is home after two hours, the system goes into away mode automatically.
The Follow Me feature sends the temperature data to the thermostat ONLY if the room has people in it. For example, before owning my Ecobee, my bedroom got hot at night with my door closed. Now, my room stays at a cool 61 degrees all night because my bedroom is the only room with people in it, so it’s the only sensor used for my sleep mode.
#3 - Temperature Swing
Nest has a one-point temperature swing.
Ecobee lets you adjust the temperature swing (0.5-3.0 degrees). With my heat set to 66 degrees and a two-point swing, the heat won't turn on until the temperature reaches 64 degrees.
If you're fine with a little extra discomfort, the swing lets your HVAC system run less often, which may improve the lifespan of your system.
The other benefit? My furnace is loud. I’d rather have it run for longer, but less often.
