Beside above, should I set thermostat to cool or auto? AUTO is short for automatic. The fan only turns on when cooling or heating (in winter) is required. If you can tolerate most of the summer heat – save for the absolute hottest of days – you'll want to use the AUTO setting. The AC fan kicks in when needed and stops running when the job is done.
Consequently, how does ecobee comfort settings work?
This tells your ecobee what temperature you want your home to be during your Activities. The orange number is the heat setting, and the blue number is the cool setting. Essentially, Comfort Settings are a predefined heat/cool setting that can be applied to a specific period of a day.
Does ecobee control fan speed?
The furnace board controls the blower speed based on the temperature. Ecobee just controls how long the fan runs per hour. I found at least 30min/hour fan speed setting worked well for keeping our house an even temperature on both floors.
