Just to confirm - changing to a new GS smartApp worked fine for me, i.e. old streams in GS itself were not affected and it just added the new component/stream as I had wanted.
I think I went through the guide ok but I get no components showing, I am in the UK if that causes any problems.
Any idea what I can check to get this working?
well just typical, there are components now, hours after I set it all up 
yvesracine,
Thank you for posting this. I have been modifying the existing code to collect all of this data and doing it rouge. I’m glad I did as it forced me to learn about what’s going on behind the scenes. I ran into a wall when trying to figure out how to pass the enum variables. So I broke down and searched this post for ecobee support… appreciate the work 
Nick
Thanks for putting this together!
Hi @Nsiegfried,
Please note that the groveStream’s ecobee support is done with My Ecobee device which is the most comprehensive ecobee integration with SmartThings.
Regards.
I have everything setup using your code at the bottom of the tutorial. I seem to be using a lot of data. I have only bee using it about a week and im very close to the 5MB monthly allowance. Any guidance on how to slow this down ?
Dear all
I have reached my maximum 5 mb of data in Grovestream. I have a lot of sensors that report different types of data. One sensor (power plug) reports data every 5-10 seconds.
I have read the entire thread but have not been able to find any solution to reduce my data usage - maybe someine in here could help me?
My grovestreams setup is as follows:

}you would have to switch to a device handler that doesn’t report so often. The Centralite plug is crazy-noisy at default. Maybe there is a custom handler for it.
I found it easier to use a different physical device with better defaults, or use custom DH with customizable report rates, e.g. Zooz Zen15.
