Hi @eibyer,
There are a lot of automations you can do with ecobee.
Even if your household schedule is hectic, you can use the ST hello modes to
set your thermostat to away or present and/or based on different input (motion sensors, presence sensors,).
See my github for more details:
And, this thread about MyEcobee device`:
P.S. I’ve also created some automations to be able to control any smart vents (such as Keen Home) in conjunction with your thermostat’s setpoints in order to achieve the best comfort and energy efficiency in your home.
Regards,
