@4caulders , you can use the ST stock device or my custom ecobee device which has many more features.
Amongst others,
use of ecobee thermostats not only as temperature sensors, but also as presence sensors with smartapps
expose the ecobee3’s remote sensors as individual temperature and motion sensors for use in home automation scenarios.
See these threads for more detail:
Hello,
Following the release of the ecobee API changes yesterday, I added some functionalities to the existing Smartthings-Ecobee integration code base:
to handle the current equipment’s status (live) in the ecobee device type
to create,update, and delete groups
I also added a smartapp that calls the ecobee device type to allow a user to easily manage the groups associated to a given thermostat
see https://github.com/yracine/device-type.myecobee
Regards.
P.S. For more details on the API changes, see the changes log at https://www.ecobee.com/home/developer/api/documentation/v1/index.shtml
Hello,
In order to simplify the installation of the My custom Ecobee device for all ecobee users out there, I made some changes to be able to use a similar installation process as the ST stock ecobee device.
This is done with a simple SmartApp called “My Ecobee Init” that acts as a Service Manager for the ecobee thermostats at your home.
See readme file at
GitHub - yracine/device-type.myecobee: SmartThings-ecobee integration for instructions.
Here are the main benefits of using My Ecobee Device:
Better performance and reliability
Support of ecobee3, Smart, and EMS thermostats
Support of Farenheits and Celsius
Up to date with recent ecobee’s API changes
Expose all ecobee API functions to Smartthings such as setClimate Home or Away for
smarter automation

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 and off based on that.
I did see that there’s a slow refresh rate in another post, I don’t know that that’s a major problem for me. I don’t intend to use the motion.
Thanks for any replies!
