That's not surprising. My installer told me that Ecobee. I think, provided
a ferrite bead with their thermostat.

A ferrite bead MAY satisfy EMC requirements at VHF/UHF, but is next to useless at HF and below.

Multiple turns must be wound around a Fair-Rite #31 core, and they must be wound in sequence around the core, to be effective at HF and below.
