Room Sensor installation guide
Welcome! Thank you for your purchase. Now that you have additional room sensors you’ll get even more comfort and savings from your ecobee3 wi-fi thermostat. Room sensors enable three features: Smart Home/Away If your ecobee3 senses that you are home during your scheduled Away period, or away during your scheduled Home period, it will automatically override your schedule to maximize comfort and savings.
Step 1. Pair the room sensor while standing near your thermostat 1. To activate your room sensor, ensure your ecobee3 is awake by standing in front of it or touching the screen. 2. Pull the plastic tab on your room sensor and it will power on and connect to your ecobee3 automatically. Stand in front of your ecobee3 and pull the plastic tab on the room sensor to automatically pair it with your thermostat.
3. Your ecobee3 will detect your room sensor and ask you to name it. You can verify a successful connection on your thermostat. If your sensor does not connect with the ecobee3, simply remove the battery, wait 2 minutes, and re-insert the battery to restart the detection process. To access the battery, pop the room sensor back cover off using the ridges provided. To attach the room sensor stand, remove the smaller back cover and pop the stand into place.
Step 2. Find a location Place your room sensor at a height of approx. 5ft / 1.5m on an interior wall, away from direct heat/cool sources (eg. fireplace, air vents, etc.) If the sensor is out of range of your ecobee3 (approx. 45 ft / 13.7 m) the thermostat will show N/A, meaning it cannot connect to the room sensor. When in range, they will automatically reconnect. 5 ft (1.5 m) Rotate room sensor so bee points up to the right.
Step 3. Install the room sensor Using the materials provided, install the room sensor in one of three ways: Option 1. Attach to a wall using the screw provided. Option 2. Attach to a wall using the adhesive provided. Option 3. Place on a flat surface using the stand provided. Tip: For accurate occupancy and temperature sensing, make sure your room sensor has an unobstructed view of the room, and can sense the ambient room temperature (it cannot do so from an enclosed space).
Room sensor tips Can I turn off the occupancy sensor? You may want to sense temperature without tripping the motion sensor. Select a location for your room sensor where it can sense the ambient room temperature, without having a clear view of the room (turned away from the room, or tucked behind your family portrait). Storing your room sensor If you do not wish to use the room sensor, delete it from the ecobee3 sensors menu and disconnect the battery before storing it.
