This may be related to the platform issues that were going on yesterday (http://status.smartthings.com/). I had the same thing happen to me. The APIs haven’t changed, so shouldn’t be anything on the apps. I had the same issue and had to force a new login in the Connect app to clear it as even the API warning didn’t trigger in the app.
Hi, MyEcobee device has not been affected at all by any platform issues.
I supervise and monitor many customer sites all over the USA and Canada (as some of my contributors prefer to pay for support) and none of them have been affected by any ST or ecobee issues. Some of them have up to 6 ecobee thermostats in a single location and even more ecobee remote sensors and they have not experienced any exceptions or disconnects.
You may want to look into My DTH implementation for more reliability (especially in the winter).
Regards.
P.S. After many months of work, I’ve managed to build many mechanisms to avoid disconnects and timeouts…My Ecobee device is more resilient ( to any ST platform issues) than even the ST stock ecobee device.
And then there’s this…
I love it when someone pushes their paid app so hard. “My app will clean the kitchen sink.”
@StrykerSKS’s app is still going strong for me. I notice occasional blips in the authentication, but since it automatically fixes itself, I don’t believe it is an app issue.
If it’s not a problem for you to re-login every month, that’s fine…
Others may want more robust options.
Nice try. I didn’t say I re-login every month. I said occasional blips but if automatically fixes itself.
That’s not what my contributors say to me when they switch to MyEcobee device.
Anyway, you’re still stuck at v0.9 while MyEcobee device is at v5.6.9 with much more features (and continually improving)…
The open-source code has not really changed since February…
Enjoy your ecobee solution!
I think this thread has run its course.
