ecobee3 Going on Vacation Setup

Going on Vacation

Your ecobee3’s Vacation feature helps you conserve energy while you are away for extended periods of time. It also ensures your home is comfortable when you return. A vacation event has a start date and time, as well as an end date and time. You can enter any number of vacations, as long as each has a unique start time. The Vacation feature overrides your programmed schedule – you can leave your Schedule settings as-is when you go away for a special or unscheduled trip.
