I had a good contractor but like many they don't seem to care much about anything software or tech related. He couldn't provide much of an answer of what I am losing out on.
I have a two zone system with 2 Mitsubishi air handlers and a 42k compressor.
My question is, by using Ecobee thermostat I believe I lose nearly all the extra efficiency and speed control of a Mitsubishi thermostat My understanding is the ecm motor and compressor can vary their speed but only if they know a little info such as current room temp, new setting, maybe even outdoor temps also.
Am I correct with this? I dont think they will give me a hard time to swap them out but I would like to be accurate with why I am asking. I also would like to get their cloud offering also which I believe requires a couple of extra modules.
Thank you in advance!

Not sure about Mitsubishi, but Fujitsu and Carrier Infinity systems benefit greatly from using their User Interface over a third party thermostat. I do know Honeywell manufactured thermostats for Mitsubishi and programmed them for use with a Mitsubishi system. @Gary Wilson?0

Are you using one of these and is your Ecobee set up with staging etc? https://www.amazon.com/Mitsubishi-Electric-Thermostat-Interface-R2/dp/B01BNW6PZM0

I just purchased two of these to use with a new Mitsubishi system and Ecobee thermostats. From what I read they should work with no loss in functionality of the Ecobee.
