If you’re going on vacation soon and don’t want to worry about changing the thermostat as you’re trying to bankrupt the family, Ecobee actually lets you schedule the thermostat to go into away mode in advance.

Setting an ecobee to rest is essentially just putting it into «away» mode, which lowers the temperature settings so your heating or air conditioning doesn’t run as often when you’re out and about. Here’s how to do it.
Start by opening the Ecobee app on your smartphone and pressing the menu button on the bottom left corner of the screen.
Click on Vacation.
Click on the round «+» button in the upper right corner of the screen.
From there, first tap on «Date and Time of Departure».
Click on Departure Date.
Select the day you will leave and click «Save» at the bottom.
