Hello, I’m considering the Ecobee3 w/ remote sensors. I’m also thinking that it would be nice for those remote sensors to be pulled into ST. For example I saw that something of the system does humidity, I would hope all sensor units do. It would be nice to turn humidifiers in the various rooms on an…

Hi Yves, Thanks for the reply. Oddly enough, the remote sensors started updating themselves in the middle of the night even though when I tried these out about 3 weeks ago, they did not. I did update the remote init as per your latest code, so perhaps that solved something. Although I have polli…

@gwithers105 , if you see only pollHandler() as scheduled job, it means that you have an older version of the smartapp. I’ve recently renamed the method name in order to avoid any ST filtering on polling methods such as this one. SmartThings does not like (in general) those polling methods as the…

@gwithers105 , another thing to keep in mind about remote sensors’ updates is your ecobee3’s firmware. If it’s not 3.6, then the remote sensors’ updates are not as reliable. Maybe, 3 weeks ago, your firmware version was still 3.5.x. Regards.

Yes indeed, my firmware was not 3.6 a few weeks ago and that may have been the problem. I did fail to update the EcobeeInit program and that was the issue with the lack of a takeAction in my scheduler. At the moment, things seem to be working as expected on all fronts. I will watch for hicups. I…

@gwithers105 , during this conversation, I made a quick change on the ecobee3RemoteSensorInit smartapp to not generate as much data for updates. I suspect also that for some large installations such as yours, some ST memory constraints may be reached at one point. Please grab the latest ecobee3Remo…

@gwithers105 , @Drewbert34 , @swamplynx , @gator94 and others who lose their connection to ecobee: I made some changes today to avoid as much as possible the ecobee3’s connection issues that can happen from time to time. I made some changes to reduce the amount of data events generated for temp/motio…

Thanks Yves, All my remote sensors (temp and humidity) did stop updating yesterday. After I applied your previous update, when I went to the remoteInit app it would return an error about not being able to save some data. I didn’t clear the cache however. I did clear the cache after updating to t…

@gwithers105 , it looks like the old device is still in the cache… Could you redo all the above steps another time? I made some changes this morning on the MyEcobee device type (after further testing). You would also probably need to re-authenticate yourself using MyEcobeeInit. Thnx for your pat…

Hi Yves, I have cleared the cache again but I can get this error to appear pretty much anytime I go through the remoteInit once it has already been run once to create the sensors. If I run the remoteInit the first time (by deleting the previous install), then the error is not seen. Run the remote…

Thanks Yves, I will give it a go and keep an eye on things. Hopefully things will settle down back to super reliable like before. Thanks for your help.
