The ecobee4, ecobee3 (and lite) allows the user to set different schedules each day for various modes, including home, away, and sleep. The remote sensors detect temperature and occupancy and can engage a Smart Away mode if no movement is detected. The ecobee3/4 integrates the remote sensors by controlling to the average room temperature for all sensors that are included in the mode setting (and detect occupancy, if enabled). A vacation mode can be programmed for extended times away from home.
