It doesn’t seem to have a built-in energy saving mode where you can set different heat and cool temperatures for when you are gone/unoccupied compared to when home/occupied. That is the strength of some of the Honeywell thermostats, IMO - makes it easy to understand how to get the savings…
Hello @wilme2
Thank you for your valuable feedback! You’re correct that the Ezlo Thermostat doesn’t currently have a built-in energy-saving mode for setting different heat and cool temperatures for home vs. unoccupied states. However, this functionality can be achieved through MeshBots and automations on our Ezlo controller, allowing you to easily set up customized schedules or conditions for energy savings.
We also understand the importance of having this feature integrated directly into the thermostat. Your suggestion is greatly appreciated, and we will escalate your feedback to our team to explore the possibility of implementing this functionality directly in the thermostat for temperature modes. Notably, similar functionality is already available for the Fan mode, so we will evaluate extending it to other modes as well.
Thank you for helping us improve, and please don’t hesitate to share more suggestions or questions!
If I have understood correctly, the thermostat can be programmed on the device itself and is therefore independent of a controller. That is a big plus point.
However, programming seems to only be possible on the device itself. That seems outdated to me. I would expect that this could also be done conveniently via PC or APP.
I don’t quite understand how this is supposed to work with the control via Meshbots. If there is internal device programming and then Meshbots are added with a schedule or something similar, how does that work? Does one of the two have priority, or can the internal programming be deactivated when using the Meshbots?
