Different Shards Confusing Need Help

[rontalley]

Proably more upset about the Remote Sensors than anything. I actually love the EcoBee and stayed playing with it when I first got them but like they say, Hindsight is 20/20

In regards to the analysis, I think that it is a little unfair because there are plenty of community apps that can make a regular “Dumb” Therm very very very Smart. Especially using CoRE.

FAQ: What is WebCoRE? (And what was CoRE?)

CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.” Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you. For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog.

No scheduling capabilities when connected to a Home Automation hub.

The best way would be exclude the thermostat and then pair it again. If it’s scheduled then the app is working the issue is the hub and thermostat aren’t communicating likely. This was also documented on another forum page.

Not as responsive (especially for battery-powered thermostats)
Depends on who you ask. I turn on/off my therm with EcoBee3 and it still takes 5 minutes to turn off and 2-3 minutes to turn on. But hey, what 5 minutes amongst friends? I can tell you that 30 minutes to update motion is not that responsive at all.

But again, The EcoBee will have paid for itself within a couple of years and it is a great Therm!
