For those of you who are interested in ecobee thermostats (ecobee3, smart, smart-SI), I’m actually testing the ecobee-IFTTT integration that should be available soon.
Amongst the IFTTT recipes available are:
Get a notification for ecobee transitions to Smart Home or Away (for ecobee3 only)
Create a vacation on your ecobee based on entries in your Google Calendar
Switch your home the ‘Home’ Comfort Profile when you approach your home
Get a notification when Indoor temperature is too low at your home.
Use your Ecobee Thermostat to Trigger a dehumidifier.
When I wake up set my ecobee to a comfortable temp
Of course, you can create other recipes based on the other IFTTT channels available (ex. SmartThings).
This IFTTT integration will also work with My ecobee device at
I was just looking into this and I was curious if there was a way, via IFTTT, to turn the fan on when the temperature difference between active sensors was greater than say 3 degrees? I thought this might make more sense then just kicking on the fan for X minutes every hour.
One of the things I’d like to see fixed is the ability create a vacation schedule that matches Google for date AND time. Right now you only set it for X number of days and cannot tell it to end at a specific time. I create entries that match my travel schedule for work, but I can’t automatically create a vacation schedule that matches.
@carmp3fan, I submitted your request to the proper channel at ecobee…I’m not actually developing the IFTTT channel integration per se, just testing it…
I am setting up Ecobee integration with Sherbit (www.sherbit.io) and wanted to see if anyone was interested in being part of the testing process. I am happy to provide early access to the app in exchange for your help. Email me at alex@sherbit.io to discuss in more detail. Thanks!
