It has a motion sensor which allows it to know when you’re home or away (you could program it accordingly). It has an Alexa skill, so you can tell your Alexa device to set the temperature by your voice. It can send alerts to your smart phones when events occur (humidity too high, etc…) I’ve been a fan of Ecobee since their initial release.
I control the Ecobee thermostat with an app on my iPhone. Works great!
