Not only is Ecobee weather information available for your heating and cooling needs, you can also see how outside temperature affects the use of your HVAC system. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to take a quick look at your thermostat to see what the weather is like outside without having to open the weather app on your phone.
To get started, you need to log in to your Ecobee account in a web browser as the Ecobee app does not allow you to access these settings. Start by going to the Ecobee website and click «Login» at the top.
Enter your username (which will be your email address) and password, and then click Sign In.
Click «Settings».
Select «Location» on the left side.
