Well i am already at 5 from when i first got it. To configure temperature correction. I go under threshold settings and try to change the humidity offset by reducing it. The ecobee is displaying the wrong room temperature no way is it 69 in here right now of course my wife is never wrong on anything period and in this case she was also not wrong.

In this ecobee tutorial i ll show you how to set an ecobee smart thermostat to reduce indoor humidity using just your air conditioner. Next on this threshold page specify how many degrees your a c system should overcool the home. Next you will want to set your desired humidity point. So i change it to 10.
