so when you first log into your ecobee app you are greeted with several options now in my case
i've got two thermostats and the smart plug this is just for the smart plug so we're gonna try and
concentrate on those so right here you've got your smart plug with its name you can turn on
and even though it looks like it's still cycling my light did turn on rather quickly same thing
with turning it off it looks like it's still cycling but it turned off the second i clicked
on it but if we click on the smart switch itself again big button turn it on it's already on even
though it hasn't fully actuated turn it off it's already off even though it hasn't fully actuated
the easiest things we're going to start from the right and work our way left this would be your
toggle for she who shall not be named clicking on that will allow you to adjust the sound volume you
can disable or enable a request sound so just letting you know it hurts you and then you have
what can i ask my ecobee now down here since i already did this you don't see it but it had an
area to link your she who shall not be named in my case now i can unlink it unlinking it will make it
so that you don't have to keep the device muted if you don't want to use alex a in that area next
smart features so one of the primary reasons i got this was for these smart features
and that is smart shut off which is after five minutes it will shut off now you can toggle this
on or off all these features now you'll notice that by default when you turn it back on or when
you turn on for the first time it is 15 minutes so we can come in here tap on that and we say nope
i want less time because i want that light not being on all that often so again thinking thinking
thinking and locked in smart on so when you walk into the room it turns itself on another feature
primer well not primarily one major reasons i got this particular light switch and then night
light which is just a little one singular led at the bottom of it and then hamburger button
these are options so device settings we can click on that we can say device name now by default you
have choices here but you are not limited to the choices that are here you can actually give it
a custom name uh mine's in my kitchen so i just let it sit with uh the name kitchen wi-fi network
well that's gonna be information about your wi-fi network so we're not gonna go into that is going
to show you information that's highly sensitive so i'm not gonna show you that either sorry and
then help and support well that's just it help and support light bar status resetting device
smart home integration it it's just a think of it as an faq of information so it brings it right to
their site so that you can get information and that's that's the ease of the app for the light
switch now there are lots of other things that you can do you can see up here there is home you can
set up different areas in my case i have one home i don't have a vacation home so this is just home
up here you can add a new device which i'll be doing that eventually you have vacation so
from here you can either press up there to set a vacation or you can click
the big button set a vacation what this will allow you to do
is again because i have several ecobee devices they're all kind of listed here but you can set
here's when i'm going to go on vacation here's where i'm coming back from vacation and then
things that your stuff can do so in my case with the light switch we're going to click on that
during vacation up here home so we can click on that keep light off or appears home so what that
will do is that will turn the lights on and off so right there on and off at night to make it look
like you're home so that's what vacation mode will do for the light switch in my case we're
just going to x because we don't want to keep any of that and then over here you have your account
which will have geo fencing which doesn't do anything with the light switch manage home well
if you had more than one home that's where you would do it donate your data still don't know
how i feel about that not donating my data at this time and general about and then this integration
with spotify i don't have spotify not gonna lie not entirely sure why that's there coming home
that is the ecobee app it's it is wonderfully simplistic so there's not much to go over
you
