Ecobee Smart Plug Instruction Manual

At ecobee, we're not just all about thermostats – we're about energy solutions.
That's why we've created Smart Plugs, WiFi-enabled electrical outlets that you
can monitor and control from your existing Smart Thermostat and ecobee®
Web Portal.
Step 1. Check Smart Thermostat Software
To use Smart Plugs, your Smart Thermostat needs to be running software
version 2.4.0.298 or later. Software updates occur automatically when the Smart
Thermostat is connected to the Internet. If you are running an earlier software
version, contact ecobee customer service (email support@ecobee.com or call
877-932-6233) to receive a free upgrade.
Step 2. Install ZigBee® Module
To use Smart Plugs, you need to install a ZigBee Module in your Smart Thermostat. You only need one module per thermostat – it can be connected to an unlimited
number of Smart Plugs. If you already have installed a ZigBee Module, you can skip this step.

Step 3. Install Smart Plug Into Outlet
Plug the Smart Plug into a standard household electrical outlet, then plug in a light or appliance. Ensure that the switch on the actual light or appliance is left in the ON
position. The Status LED should start ashing (indicating that the Smart Plug is looking for a network to join). If the Status LED does not start ashing, press and hold the
switch for 10 seconds.
Step 4. Set Up ZigBee Network
If this is your rst Smart Plug you will need to set up a ZigBee Home Automation
network with your ecobee Smart Thermostat. You can skip this step if you
previously connected any ZigBee devices.
Step 5. Adding Smart Plug to Network
After you have set up your ZigBee network (step 4), you connect your Smart Plug
to the Smart thermostat. The ecobee Smart Thermostat will scan the network
and automatically detect any unconnected Smart Plugs.
The default name is the last 4 digits of the Smart Plug's MAC address (a
unique number printed on the back of each device). You can give it an easier
to remember name (like "Living Room Light"). Providing your own custom
name makes it easier to identify the plug, especially if you have mulitple plugs
installed.
