@jrconlin no, honestly it's funny to me that you think this is good?
Hold should be a single thing that works a single way. You turn on hold and now it is a dumb thermostat until you turn hold off.
This scheme is needlessly complicated and opaque.
Honestly, nest had it right in that a temporary override would always stay until the next schedule point. The way ecobee is doing it is maddening. I'd like to see a combination of nest's temporary override and permanent hold. That seems obvious.
@TechConnectify @jrconlin that’s how my ecobee works? Maybe I’m confused. If I set it to a temp that’s not scheduled it will hold until the next schedule starts.
@monorailtimes @jrconlin I think you might be confused, yeah. I'm talking about how to make it behave as a dumb thermostat for an indefinite period of time.
On any other programmable thermostat in the world, you turn on hold. Then it ignores the program and becomes a dumb thermostat until you turn off hold.
Hold, in my objectively correct opinion [/s], is a binary state. It is either on or off.
Nest just doesn't have it, and ecobee makes it a nested behavior of an override.
@TechConnectify @monorailtimes @jrconlin I suppose it’s annoying to have to change a setting, but on my ecobee you can set hold to mean indefinitely or until the next schedule change. Or to have it ask you each time, which may be the default and the behavior that you saw?
