Introduction
The ecobee smart thermostat enables you to more efficiently heat and cool your house, which can not only make where you live more comfortable, but it can also save you money. While ecobee doesn’t make it possible to change the time on your thermostat to anything you want, it does give you the ability to choose between a 12- or 24-hour time format, and also to choose your country and the region you’re in within that country.
