## Overview
ecobee smart thermostats are designed to lower energy costs. In addition to energy efficiency features, such as climate setting scheduling, occupancy sensors, and automatic air conditioning pause when a window or door is left open, ecobee thermostats are hard-wired, instead of battery-powered, for reliability.
