The Ecobee Thermostat supports the following key concepts.
-The target temperature is the temperature that the device attempts -to achieve. The target temperature is either determined by the -currently active climate or it may be overridden by a hold. When the -thermostat is not in auto mode, there is a single target -temperature. When the thermostat is in auto operation mode, there is a -pair of target temperatures: the lower target temperature determines -the lowest desired temperature, while the higher target temperature -determines the highest desired temperature (the thermostat will switch -between heating and cooling to keep the temperature within these -limits).

-A climate is a predefined or user-defined set of states that the -thermostat aims to achieve. The ecobee thermostat provides three predefined -climates: home, away, and sleep. The user can define additional climates.

-A hold is an override of the target temperature defined in the -currently active climate. The temperature targeted in the hold mode may be -explicitly set (temperature hold) or it may be derived from a reference -climate (home or away hold). All holds are temporary. Temperature and -climate holds expire when the thermostat transitions to the next climate -defined in its program.

-When in away mode, the target temperature is permanently overridden by -the target temperature defined for the away climate. The away mode is a -simple way to emulate a vacation mode.

-The operation mode of the device is the currently active operational -modes that the Ecobee thermostat provides: heat, auxHeatOnly, cool, -auto, and off.

The following attributes are provided by the Ecobee Thermostat:
-name, temperature_unit, current_temperature, target_temperature,
-target_temperature_low, target_temperature_high, desired_fan_mode,
-fan, current_hold_mode, current_operation, operation_list,
-operation_mode, mode, fan_min_on_time, device_state_attributes,
-is_away_mode_on.
-The attributes min_temp and max_temp are meaningless constant values.

set_away_modeset_hold_modePuts the thermostat into the given hold mode. For ‘home’ and ‘away’, the -target temperature is taken from the home or away, climate, respectively. -For ‘temp’, the current temperature is taken as the target temperature. -When None is provided as parameter, the hold_mode is turned off.
