Thermostat expanded settings

It would be good to be able to add more than one account of the same kind, and also create different start times for AC’s with check in time.

Some of us manage multiple properties other people own. With ecobee those thermostats can be shared with us to maintain, but your system does not import them for some reason, although other automation services do. So it would be good to have multiple Ecobee connected accounts with their credentials so we still have that control. For now I have to keep the other system going which isn’t desirable.

I have one home with 4 AC’s. It’s not great to run 4 AC’s at the same time in the winter after prolonged non use where they might all go to Aux heat. That can be enough to trip an entire 200 amp house breaker. I typically deal with this by staggering the start time from 4 to 1 hours before check in allowing AC’s to get back to Heat Pump mode if they started up after a long unoccupied setting.

These are all things the leading competitor in this space can do so may be worth referencing them.
