If you want a device type using the new attributeTile capabilities for App v2.x, I believe the device type I’ve written should work for the Honeywell thermos. I replaced mine with Evolve’s after both Honeywell’s started getting Connection Lost errors.
The image is a little old because the Status line is now using 2 lines of text, but everything else is the same.
Ok cool. I’ve updated my device type 2 months ago with sliders and arrows, and it’s working great, but I like the idea of the v2 tile. I’ll check into it
Looks pretty good! I like the option to select the cool or heat without having to cycle through! The cycle through before was a bit buggy in my opinion.
Do you know why my icons look a little squished?
Specifically the temperature bubbles, and the “Off” “Heat”
@drsprite, Oh now that’s interesting… The only thing I can think of is how iOS vs Android renders the tiles within the app. Those are 3x1 and 3x2 formatted tiles (others are still 2x2), so maybe iOS does something different.
You could change the tiles in question back to 2x2 and insert blank 2x2 tiles, to maintain the vertical layout for temp, or change them to 2x2 and change orientation to horizontal by just tweaking the “details([” line 146. Perhaps the same for the mode tile buttons.
This is a real bummer to see this difference between iOS and Android in the app, so perhaps it’s something ST could address, or it just could be an operating system difference that can’t be addressed.
Somewhat off topic, but which brand Evolve thermostat did you switch to? I’m looking to get a thermostat that works well with ST, but would rather not spend the $250 for a Nest or Ecobee…
These have been super rock solid for me. They’re designed for commercial use in hotels, etc, but their “r” series is for residential use. Found them brand new on eBay for less than $80!
Edit - sorry, was on my cell phone earlier and didn’t notice the difference - looks like the glass model is much nicer looking (not sure if the internals are the same). Right now it appears the lowest price for those on ebay is $119…
Yeah, really like the looks of the glass as opposed to the one on Amazon. It looks like v2 of the Nest is around $150 at Lowe’s right now, so I guess I need to consider whether the Nest would be worth an additional $30 (if the eBay version is indeed the glass)…
Anyway, I’ve hijacked this thread enough - my apologies.
Thanks for the quick reply John! I was using v4 from post #22. I deleted and created v7 and it works great, logs look happy now
I have been trying out several device types for my Honeywell RTH8580ZW and recently found this thread, don’t know if there is a better one to follow your developments? Your device type has the most control for the features of this thermostat, good work!
Looks great and I love the 2-line current status reporting. I’ll let you know if I notice anything.
