There is a setting in the Ecobee that will tell it to hold the override until next program event.
So if we bump up heater, at the program time of 10pm it will revert to my night time program in the Ecobee.
Forgot to mention Iām use @yracine Ecobee software to do some of my manipulation. Which is very little compared to what I think others do.
Ya but this only seems to work if you manually change the temp setting. Iāll check out some of the other programs. Iāve been using IFTTT that event the Ecobee tech said should work as a work around, but I find itās not doing that.
You could be right, I donāt really mess with changing the Ecobee mode to when my house mode changes. I just let the remote sensors see us and let the Ecobee do itās thing.
Now you have me curious, I know @yvesracine software that I am using can do ALOT more than I use it for.
He would be the one to ask for a definite, of what can and canāt be done.
I just generally keep the house cold in the winter and warm in the summer. I get blamed for that ALL the time. Even tho any of them can adjust the temperature in any number of ways without actually getting up out of the chair.
Guess someone has to be the scapegoat and the Grinch!
Hi,
With my Ecobee device, you can set the holdType preference parameter to ānextTransitionā.
See item 3b under the configuration section.

Regards.
Thanks. I just installed your code and Iāll give it a try.
Im in the same boat choosing between nest and ecobee after just paying for a whole house central system install. (Iām very excited).
I have 7 nest protects and belive if I get a nest thermostat, iāll be able to use the custom device type as a guest presence sensor (right now I have a custom core rule doing this). So that is one benefit of nest thermostat (without it you canāt access presence at all even tho the protects help with it).
Iām confused with ecobee 3 tho as with the sensors, iām guessing it just averages it out for cooling/heating based on all the sensors? their website doesnāt really give too much away other than with the sensors itā helps keep a constant temp? without smart vents etcā¦ how does this work?
Also iām guessing with both thermostats and ST you can make it so heating doesnāt come on over night and only during day right? (but cooling does).
This was just discussed in another thread, I will have to look later. Try the search feature.
I have the Ecobee, but my house is very simple. Basically the remote sensors talk to the thermostat. It will average all the reading to get the current temperature it controls from. If I remember right you can pick which sensors the thermostat will use for each of your program time. For example during your bedtimes you could have the thermostat only control off the sensor in the bedroom.
Also the remote sensors have motion detectors to allow the system to know when your home and override the away settings or use a follow me mode to control off the sensor that sees motion. My thermostat is in a hallway we donāt use much. So without a sensor in our main room it would think we were away when where not.
I donāt really use the smartthing connection. I do use Alexa to make adjustments every once in a while.
There is others that have much better integration and better setups.
Hope that helps.
thanks it does. Sucks you canāt use smartthings motion sensors and temperature sensors but I guess you can indirectly by using core etc.
You can, I paid for @yvesracine software to control my Ecobee. He has software that exposes those items to the Ecobee. I just havenāt set it up yet. Mostly because we pretty much let the thermostat run itās set routines. We donāt modify them much and we donāt have a lot of rooms we need to monitor.
His software will pretty much let you do whatever you want with an ecobee.
Have a look at nest manager and its built in automations.
It does allow adding extra sensors, or motion sensors for use with the nest. It is all built into the nest manager smartapp
looks like I can do everything that ecobee can do with this nest device type also!
just a matter of which one to buy :S
Here is the SmartApp Iām using to access the EcoBee motion sensors. Itās still in development, but itās tweaks at this point. No cost for this implementation:
You might want to check out some of Rboyās smartapps, he has several that will leverage the ST motion/temp sensors. https://smartthings.rboyapps.com/
When I move into my new home I plan to pick whichever has the best rebate at the time. Right now ecobee is the winner @ $100 off 
Been waiting 2 weeks now to get a reply that they even received my rebate submission
Love my NEST because it has a NEST smoke alarm that does STEAM CHECK. My smoke alarm near one of the bathrooms and two bedrooms kept going off from the shower steam. The NEST smoke alarm can determine between smoke and steam!!!
Yeh I have seven nest protests. They are great !
Are you protesting their greatness? lol j/k
