Ecobee3 - what is the newest way to get this working?

Ha! Wish I could I’m just now pulling out of work. I’m afraid the Police here in michigan frown on that stuff while driving :slight_smile:

Hi all!

A quick update on our official Ecobee3 integration. We’ve completed the integration and we’re beginning testing this week. We expect that testing to take about two weeks.

The main fix/improvement in our official integration is related to an issue with previous integrations that would cause Ecobee to log you out. We’re also updating the UI, adding fan support, celcius support and correcting a few other issues you all had reported to us.

Stay tuned!

All of this, plus fixed to the Windows Phone app? Wow, you must have been busy.

…wait a minute, the Windows Phone app is still broken…

@strykersks
Haven’t had a chance to update… Enabled OAuth and everything works great. Thank you.

@tyler
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing an official integration between ecobee3 and smarthings.

I am using the ecobee3RemoteSensorInit smartapp and I am not seeing any activity in the recent log for the remote sensor. In the live logging in the IDE, I can see that takeAction is being executed about ever 5 mins, but the recent activity for the “thing” on my phone and tablet shows nothing. In addition,

The live log shows the following:

Does anybody have any suggestions on what my problem might be?

@yvesracine, I followed your suggestion on a similar post of the same issue.

@midnight555, with the latest release I sent this weekend, you can enable different subscriptions in ecobe3RemoteSensorInit (last Page, other Options) to get around the ST scheduler issues.

By enabling the subscriptions, the smartapp is then automatically re-scheduled if needed. This ensures regular polling of MyEcobee device for updating the remote sensors.

You’d need the latest release for this feature.

If you have other questions regarding MyEcobee device and all its ecosystem of smartapps, you can contact me at services@maisonsecomatiq.com as I’m not always in the ST forum (and it’s easier for me to get the context of all my contributors in gmail conversations).

Regards.

Did this ever happen?

Yes, the code was deployed last week. We’re updating the list in the mobile app today, but you can connect your Ecobee3 this second by clicking on any of the other Ecobee models.

Excited… I will wait for the list to be updated in the app and then add my new ecobee 3 to ST

:slight_smile:

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I am still having nearly weekly (if not more often) log outs using StrykerSKS’s code. Sounds like it was attributed to the scheduler issues, but it continues to manifest for me. Does anyone know if this is still an ongoing stability problem? Anything I can do to improve this situation? At least the app does tell me it’s logged out, but still.

Overall though, I am impressed with the SmartApp - very nicely done!

Just use the built in integration with the ST native app. It works great, and exposes the remote sensors as well.

I 2nd thee.

Knowing what I know now, you don’t need to pay for what you can’t use…which is exposing the sensors as motion sensors, as they are too slow to use for any type of integration.

If you want to spend the money by all means…but w/a 15 min. lag time it’s pretty useless to make motion visible in ST.

That’s my take…I’m sure someone that stands to profit sees it otherwise.
