Ventilator/HRV/ERV (if installed)
The Ventilator/HRV/ERV menu configures the operation of a
ventilator, a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) or an Energy
Recovery Ventilator (ERV), if installed:
Occupied minimum runtime: Configure how many
minutes per hour the device will run during occupied
periods, such as when you’re home or asleep.
Unoccupied minimum runtime: Configure how many
minutes per hour the device will run during unoccupied
periods, such as when you’re away.
Ventilation devices are important to maintain indoor air quality
and, depending on where you live, this might be regulated. The
amount of indoor air required to maintain sufficient indoor air
quality depends on how big your house is, how many people
live there, and the capacity of your ventilation device. You
should consult with a local contractor who can guide you on
how often you should be running your ventilation device.
For devices configured as ventilators (i.e. not HRVs or ERVs) you
can enable a feature called “free cooling” on your ecobee3.
When the outdoor temperatures are cooler than indoors and
your system is calling for cool, your ecobee3 will turn on your
ventilator to bring in outdoor air instead of running your air
conditioner. To configure free cooling options, see page 26.
On Thermostat and Mobile:
1. Select Main Menu > System > Ventilator/HRV/ERV
2. Adjust the Occupied Min Run Time and Unoccupied Min
Run Time by selecting each option and swiping left or
right to adjust the values.
3. If supported by your device, enable or disable Free
Cooling.

Adjusting Sensor Modes
Your ecobee3 supports wireless remote sensors that detect
motion and temperature in different rooms (one was included
with your thermostat). Your ecobee3 also has a built-in motion
sensor. With these sensors, you can optimize the operation of
your thermostat to ensure comfort in the rooms and times that
matter most.
For information about installing new sensors, see the ecobee
Installation Guide, or the documentation included with the
sensor itself.
Smart Home/Away
Smart Home/Away applies all the sensors in your network –
including the sensors built-in your thermostat. It works by
following your schedule unless any sensor in your network is in
conflict with your schedule. In other words, if your ecobee3
senses that you are home during a scheduled Away period, or
away during a scheduled Home period, it will automatically
override your schedule by placing you in Smart Home/Away
mode to maximize comfort (Smart Home) and savings (Smart
Away).
On Thermostat:
1. Select Main Menu > Sensors > Smart Home/Away
2. Touch Enable to have your sensor network and
thermostat detect occupancy. To have your thermostat
strictly follow your programmed schedule, touch Disable.
Follow Me
Follow Me is a feature that applies to a selected group of the
sensors in your network (including the sensor built-in your
thermostat). It works by looking for motion triggered by any of
