@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 wait isn’t this how the ecobee works when you just adjust the temperature? I thought when just adjust the temperature it says “(new temperature) until 9:00pm” (or whatever the next scheduled change is
@woodne that is one of many ways it *can* work but there are other things you can choose, too.
And the way my parents' model works, if you want it to actually *hold* a temperature, you need to go into the settings and tell it that when you change the temperature manually it should hold onto that forever.
Which, to me, makes very little sense. That needs to be a separate feature with a separate toggle.
@woodne Yes, that's what I mean,
I appreciate those two and four hour options (I guess... can't say I'd used them) but this is not what HOLD means to me.
That may be my bias from earlier thermostats, but bottom line - what I'm asking for is a feature that says "be dumb until further notice" and that doesn't feel like it belongs in a sub-menu like this.
@TechConnectify @woodne perhaps you’ve answered elsewhere, but isn’t setting this to “Decide at time of change” and then choosing “Until I change it” effectively this? And it’s not like you have to dig into this more than once.
