I’ve been using Yves’ heating/cooling solutions apps for almost 10 months now with my 4 Keen smart vents. My 2nd floor bedrooms were always much too hot in the summer & cold in the winter due to a poor design by the HVAC “professionals”. Now with the Keen Smart Vents and Yves’ app, my first and 2nd floors are balanced to within 2 degrees. I don’t let the vents close to less than 20% and with only 4 smart vents it doesn’t put too much back pressure on the system. This setup saved me $7500 which was the quote I got to convert my HVAC system to 2 ducted zones.

yvesracine - this is really a great app and well worth every penny in my opinion. I’m using it with 28 keen vents, 2 ecobee3’s with 12 remote sensors and it’s done a fantastic job at zoning and keeping each room at very similar temps. Thanks!

I recently started using your Smartthings App - zoned heating/cooling with 6 Keen Smart Vents and 2 Samsung Motion/Temperature Sensors for a recently finished basement. My Furnace Thermostat is on the first floor and does a great job of keeping that floor at 70 degrees, however; my basement temperature would fluctuate. With your app and the 2 Samsung Motion/Temperature Sensors, I can keep the basement from becoming over-heated (I set the temperature for heating to 70 degrees for the 2 zones I created and use the Samsung sensors to read that temperature.) I am thinking of purchasing an Ecobee 3 Thermostat to put in the basement (mainly as a way to allow people to think they are setting the basement thermostat.) This would replace me setting a threshold temperature in the Smart Things ap…

Excellent SmartApp and a great example of real integration using ST. I replaced all my vents with Keen, have a nest thermostat and ST with ScheduleTstatZones SmartApp from @yvesracine ruling them all. The Smartapp has soooo many features that you will definitely find the combination of settings that works for your house. The app is being improved constantly through updates and the developer is always available to answers questions quickly.

Great Smart App. My Setup is an Ecobee3 with 8 sensors and 7 comfort settings. SmartThings with 5 ST Temp/Humidity sensors, 3 EcoNet Controls smart vents, and 6 (so far) Keen Home smart vents. Was able to integrate it all into the app and run it with the Ecobee3 comfort profiles. In the app I have set up 6 rooms, 5 zones, and all 7 schedules. One of my comfort settings/schedules excludes the E3 remote temp sensors and closes the vents in my 2 bedrooms on Wednesday and Thursday when nobody is there. The main one of many features that I like and sets this app above the Keen Home app and others is the ability to open all the vents when the E3 is set to fan on to circulate the air in the main level and basement. Next up for me will be setup a smart outlet in the basement to power a fan …

I’m just beginning to realize how powerful this solution can be. Living in Arizona is hard on any cooling system during the summer. I’m definitely interested in exploring the benefits of smart vents. I’ve been very satisfied using the ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule smartapp to control my ecobee 3 thermostat and sensors. Adding smart vents to my system may be the next step for me.

Great work! I upgrade from an older version of ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule, to the new V8.1.4. Lot’s of changes, and new functionalality, easy upgrade and works great. I have 20 keen vents all being driven by two ecobee’s and being controlled by your app. Very cool! THX

OK so this is an unsolicited post of praise. We have been using this SmartApp for about a week. I purchased this app ONLY to control and give me action routines on the Ecobee sensors and system. What I didn’t expect (and am quite delighted in) is the comfort settings. Our home has two rooms on the second floor which are always colder than the others. Even when an Ecobee sensor is in the room there isn’t much difference in comfort. After installing this SmartApp (and encouraging the wifey NOT to change the settings on the Ecobee) we have experienced three days of incredible comfort even with the outside temperature being -13 degrees. I am quite amazed how the entire house maintained 68 degrees and it was all done through the single stage furnace I have. I just want to say THANK YOU …

P.S. And, now my zoned Heating/Cooling solutions work much better with Nest using this DTH:

A contribution fee is required due to the amount of work for the design, development, and testing of the devices (equivalent of a few cups of coffee). The installation steps have been updated to reflect the fact that the installation can now proceed under the new SmartThings mobile app. To download the SmartThings code, go to www.ecomatiqhomes.com/store _ For all Nest users regardless if you have a Nest or Google account, my code can expose all your Nest Tstats, Protects, and Sensors under your Nest primary account (except the ones from a partner program such as with an utility).
