has any one used those ECOBEE communicating thermostats?? im going to install 9 of them saturday. just want some feedback.
Not Yet...
But I have a job where we're gonna install 8 and another job where 15 are going in.
My rep that handles Buderus and Rehau highly recommend these. Please keep us posted on how they work out for you.

Better Wiring Diagrams
They need better wiring diagrams in the manuals.

Other than the wiring diagrams, what's your opinion and experience like so far with Ecobee?

It's Nice
It's nice and easy. Haven't used them on a multiple job though...I use the Wirsbo Climate Newtork which also gives internet access. I think the Ecobee is an easy sell. Consumers love to play with their phones and I-Pads....The only isse I see with vacation homes is that your done if the power goes out. Would be nice to be able to ping a satellite feed as back-up instead of relying on a modem at all times..
Everyone has cell service. If there was a port in the interface to plug in an air card that could be used as back-up it would be a home run..
