is this normal?
i wake up in the morning and turn on the heat on my two ecobees (upstairs and downstairs, two zones on the same system) and the heat kicks on, i can hear it from my bed. however, it seems the two zones won't run at the same time...even though both are calling for heat and fan (according to the ecobee display). as soon as upstairs reaches its set temp, it turns off (screen shows no equipment running) and the heat comes on downstairs.
downstairs has showed heat/fan running this entire time...but it only actually runs when upstairs is not running. if upstairs decides it needs heat, it turns back on and downstairs turns back off (but still says heat/fan are running).
i do have multiple ecobee3 sensors on each level, but it doesn't seem to be a sensor issue. sensors in each zone are correctly reporting occupied (i'm upstairs, wife is downstairs).
to be honest, i have no idea if it was working this way before i installed the ecobees. we've only been in this house 3 years, and the first two we very rarely needed heat (we're in southern california, and this winter has been very different from the first two we were in this house). i do not recall this happening when we were using AC both upstairs and downstairs, but i'm not 100% sure.
can anyone assist? i'm trying to at least narrow down if this is an ecobee issue or a HVAC issue...
