Is your EcoB thermostat stuck on
0:02
calibrating, showing the wrong
0:04
temperature, or giving incorrect
0:05
humidity readings? Don't worry. In many
0:08
cases, you can fix it without replacing
0:10
the thermostat. Calibration is normal
0:12
after setup or a restart. But if it
0:14
takes too long or keeps coming back,
0:16
something may need attention. In this
0:18
video, I'll show you simple steps to
0:20
calibrate your EcoB and fix common
0:22
temperature and humidity issues. And if
0:24
you find this helpful, don't forget to

channel for more useful tips. Before
0:30
changing anything, first understand what
0:32
calibration actually means. When your
0:35
EcoB says calibrating, it is trying to
0:37
make its temperature reading more
0:38
accurate. This usually happens after the
0:41
thermostat is installed, restarted, or
0:43
loses power. In most cases, calibration
0:46
takes around 15 to 20 minutes. During
0:49
this time, your heating or cooling may
0:50
not respond normally. So, do not rush
0:52
into changing settings right away. Give
0:54
it some time and let the process finish
0:56
first. If your EcoB is showing the wrong
0:59
room temperature even after calibration
1:01
is complete, you can correct the reading
1:03
manually. Open the main menu on your
1:05
thermostat. Then go to settings. From
1:08
there, select installation settings,
1:10
open thresholds, and choose temperature
1:12
correction. Now, adjust the reading so
1:14
it matches the actual room temperature.
1:16
Make one small change at a time, then
1:18
wait a few minutes and allow the
1:20
thermostat to update properly. Do not
1:22
keep changing the correction again and
1:24
again within a short time because that
1:26
can make the reading more confusing. If
1:28
the humidity reading is wrong, go back
1:30
to the thresholds menu and select
1:32
humidity correction. Adjust it to match
1:34
your actual room humidity. Then wait a
1:36
few minutes for the thermostat to
1:37
update. This helps the thermostat show
1:39
more realistic comfort levels inside
1:42
your home. Before we continue, if you
1:44
need a reliable room thermometer,
1:46
humidity meter, air filters, or basic
1:48
thermostat tools, I've added links to my
1:51
recommended products in the description
1:52
below. Some of these may be affiliate
1:54
links, which helps support the channel
1:56
at no extra cost to you. Before changing
1:59
the temperature correction, compare your
2:01
EcoB with a reliable room thermometer.
2:03
Place it near the thermostat, not
2:05
directly above it, and wait until both
2:07
readings are stable. If there is a clear
2:09
difference, then adjust the EcoB
2:11
reading. If the temperature looks wrong
2:13
because of an EcoB smart sensor, keep in
2:15
mind that temperature correction only
2:17
applies to the main EcoB thermostat. It
2:20
does not calibrate EcoB smart sensors.
2:23
So, if one of your smart sensors is
2:25
showing an incorrect reading, try moving
2:27
it to a better location instead of
2:29
trying to fix it from the main
2:30
thermostat settings. Avoid placing
2:32
sensors near windows, vents, direct
2:35
sunlight, kitchens, bathrooms,
2:37
electronics, or any area where the
2:40
temperature changes quickly. If your
2:42
EcoB keeps showing the calibrating
2:43
message again and again, it may be
2:46
rebooting or losing power. First, wait
2:48
at least 15 to 20 minutes because normal
2:50
calibration can take that long. If it
2:51
stays stuck much longer than that or the
2:53
message keeps coming back repeatedly,
2:55
then continue with the next checks.
2:57
Check your Wi-Fi connection and
2:58
firmware. Make sure the thermostat is
3:00
properly connected to Wi-Fi because weak
3:02
Wi-Fi or outdated firmware can sometimes
3:05
cause software glitches, delayed
3:07
updates, or repeated calibration
3:09
messages. Needed, reconnect the Wi-Fi
3:11
and let the thermostat update. After
3:13
that, check if the calibrating message
3:15
disappears. Next, check the air filter
3:17
in your HVAC system. Dirty air filter
3:20
can reduce air flow. In heating mode,
3:22
this can make the furnace overheat and
3:24
shut down. Since your EcoB gets power
3:26
from the HVAC system, this can cause the
3:29
thermostat to reboot and show
3:31
calibrating again. So, inspect the air
3:33
filter and if it is dirty, replace it
3:35
with a clean one. This is a simple step,
3:37
but it can fix many heating and air flow
3:39
related issues. Also, check behind the
3:41
thermostat. If there's a hole, open gap
3:44
or air leak behind the EcoB. Hot or cold
3:46
air from inside the wall can affect the
3:48
sensor. This can make the thermostat
3:50
read the room temperature incorrectly.
3:52
Seal the gap using safe insulation or
3:54
plumbers's putty so wall air does not
3:56
reach the thermostat sensor. This can
3:58
help your EcoB read the room temperature
4:00
more accurately. Thermostat location
4:02
also matters. Make sure your EcoB is not
4:04
installed near direct sunlight, air
4:06
vents, drafts, doors, windows,
4:08
appliances, lamps, or any heat source.
4:10
The thermostat is placed in a bad
4:12
location. The temperature reading can
4:14
look wrong even when the thermostat
4:16
itself is working perfectly fine. the
4:18
location and surroundings are checked,
4:20
then move on to the system settings.
4:22
Before changing any advanced settings,
4:23
only change the options mentioned in
4:25
this video and avoid changing wiring or
4:27
unknown HVAC settings unless you are
4:30
sure about your system type. If the
4:31
issue is still not fixed, check the
4:33
furnace fan control setting,
4:34
installation settings, then open
4:36
equipment settings. Find furnace fan
4:38
control and heat mode and make sure HVAC
4:40
is selected if that matches your setup.
4:42
This can help the system control the fan
4:44
properly during heating and may prevent
4:45
some heating related calibration
4:47
problems. If your Aobe keeps rebooting,
4:50
stay stuck on calibrating for a long
4:52
time or your heating and cooling stop
4:54
working after trying these safe steps.
4:56
Do not open the wiring unless you are
4:58
confident and know exactly what you are
5:00
doing. That point it is better to
5:02
contact EcoB support or call a
5:04
professional HVAC technician. That's it
