If you want to enhance your ecobee experience or take even more control over your
energy consumption, we have the accessories to help you do it.
Whether you use ecobee accessories for your home or for your business, you'll enjoy greater control when it comes to managing your energy usage and ultimately, create a more comfortable living or working environment.
Our thermostat products are a great start to understanding and cutting back on your energy usage — which of course, will also bring down your energy costs. Our accessories will help you conduct remote diagnostics and get an even better idea of how much energy you're using so you can take the steps to reduce your usage even further and really maximize those savings.
Want to have even more control over your environment? All you have to do is add the ecobee Remote Sensor Module (RSM). The ecobee Remote Sensor Module is the newest technology designed to support the award- winning ecobee line of products. It allows additional sensors to be connected to the ecobee Smart Thermostat or Energy Management System.
We've built in increased functionality to the Energy Management software so that you can get even more out of the Remote Sensor Module. Using the ecobee Web Portal and Remote Sensor Module you can manage your building operations without actually having to be there in person. All you need is an Internet connection and you can monitor temperatures, humidity and CO2 levels as well as non-heating and cooling equipment for optimal system performance. You can even set different thresholds to create alerts for each sensor. Now, rather than just receiving an alert, you'll also be able to trigger actions based on certain thresholds that you set.
The Remote Sensor Module is compatible with most off-the-shelf 10K NTC temperature sensors, or humidity sensors.
There are cases where the location of the thermostat within the home or office is not ideal. Either you'd prefer not to have the thermostat in an open space, or it cannot be easily installed in the space that best represents the current temperature or humidity. With the Remote Sensor Module, a sensor can be installed in the desired location and the thermostat can be configured to use the temperature registered by the selected sensor as the "current temp" and/or "current humidity". The product will function as normal but will use this remote sensor as the current temperature.
Sometimes taking an overall average of several rooms is a better representation of the current temperature or humidity. In the case of temperature, the contractor would install up to 4 sensors in various locations and configure the thermostat to take a simple average of some or all of the sensors, this can include the sensor built into the thermostat. This average will be the used as the "current temp". For humidity up to 2 remote sensors and the one within the IDT could be used to produce an average "current humidity" reading.
Using the Remote Sensor Module you can monitor your system's discharge air temperature and return air temperature to ensure the system is operating properly. Alerts would be sent if preprogrammed thresholds are reached.
A remote temperature sensor can be used to replace the built in ecobee Internet weather feed as a means to detect the outdoor temperature. The temperature registered by this sensor would be used for the control ecobee smart automation. In this case, Internet weather would still be provided for display on the IDT and web portal. This configuration makes the most sense in applications where the associated weather feed does not accurately represent the temperature where the equipment is located.
In light commercial applications, it is sometimes desirable to monitor the temperature of the refrigerators or freezers to ensure they are operating within specifications. When the Remote Sensor Module is configured, alerts can be sent and actions can be triggered if preprogrammed thresholds are reached.
A CO2 sensor can be used with the Remote Sensor Module to determine at which point a ventilation system should be activated. This would be programmed to have a trigger point at which the ventilation system would become activated.

Using the ecobee Power Supply you can easily operate your ecobee from any power outlet.
Power supplies are also great in situations where hardwiring power to a unit is not an option or plugging in the thermostat is preferred.
