The keen vents support setLevel, which is a dimmer command. So if you wish you can also select them as dimmers in RM

Excellent! I was just using On / Off.
I was wondering how you exposed the ecobee 3 sensors for RM? Yvesracine created an ecobee 3 remote sensor init but he notes that itās not too reliable yet due to some ST related issues.
I struggled with yveracineās code for several days, and finally concluded that due to inherent delays in the ST communications process and in Ecobeeās data feed, it just wasnāt worth it.
I bought ST Temp/Humidity sensors for the bathroom and the storage room where local temperature control is desired. Those two rooms donāt need Ecobee sensors anyway.
My Keen smart vent keeps losing connection. I have to do a battery resrt every time I want it to re-pair. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Not seeing this issue with other Zigbee devices.
Same here, I have 5 6x10s and they have randomly dropped out once a week or so. Iām starting to think they arenāt ready for prime time. 
@NateKeenHome Do you have any comment on this one? Should we return our vents?
I have had no such problems with 3 vents.
Have you tried simply setting them in a room closer to the hub where you can see the action, to see if you have range issues?
I had the same issue with 2 of my vents. Very annoying. My vents were also reporting the temp and pressure every 10 seconds or so. I corrected the second issue with a different device type and reset all my vents by pulling the battery for a few seconds. Havenāt had the problem since I did that (probably about a month ago).
@yvesracine I am new to the ST setup and have a nest thermostat. I went to Lowes and got 4 of the Keen vents and have a ST temp sensor in each of those rooms. I read thru the posts on your ScheduleRoomTempControl and ScheduleTstatZones apps and got them both to see the difference. What I have noticed is it keeps the vents closed to about 30% all the time unless I tell it to close them all the way. What I was hoping for was a way to use the vents and temp sensors to provide as close to a true zoned AC system as possible (My room stays 68, the living room 70, and the kids rooms at about 69 as an example) but all it is doing is keeping the vents closed or almost closed no matter how cold the sensors read. My room sensor was at about 65 degrees and the set temp on the thermostat was 69 but the vent was closed all the way (or at about 30% if I had it set to not let it close it all the way). What am I doing wrong or is this app not designed for what I need?
thanks

I am very interested in what you find out because this is exactly what I am hoping to do
Hi Matt,
Could you send me the logs within Live Logging? Just filter the relevant smartapps.
I use the smartapp every day at home, and it works well, so if you can send me the logs, I will check if there are no configuration issuesā¦
Please PM me the logs or better yet use the following email: services@maisonsecomatiq.com. With the latter, I can keep track of our conversation and get a better context for each customer.
Regards.
please forgive my ignorance . How do I gather the logs and where do I find them?
No forgiveness necessary. Weāre all new at some point.

Use the Rule Machine app - I use it to control three Keen Vents by time or temperature taken from ST temp sensors.
You probably donāt need the Ecobee to interact with the Keen Vents at all - just use the vents to balance the system and put the air where you need it during different activities of the day.
You will also find that just using ST to control the vents is much more responsive than trying to have the Ecobee somehow interact with them, due to communications between the two companies clouds.

Hi,
My smartapps are not using ecobee to control the vents. They are controlling them directly based on ST connected temp and motion sensors and some algorithm that cannot be reproduced in Rule Machine. On top of it, they can average out the temperature and set the right setpoints at different time periods during the days of the week.
If you use Rule Machine and it meets your use cases, thatās fine.
In this case, this is a customer who already bought my smartapps and want them to be configured properly.
I asked him to interact with me via PM or my company email for more efficiency and to avoid the "noiseā.
Regards,
@yvesracine Thank you. I will but I i have to set it all up again. I build Mule apps to control them and it works well. The only limitation is I could not find a way to measure pressure to make sure they open if I get about 1 IW back pressure.
I think there is an issue with the pressure sensor setting in these vents. I dont know how it is even possible to build 99501.1Ps of pressure. that is about 400 Inches of Water or an atmosphere of pressure.

9 minutes ago DEVICE pressure 99501.1 Living Room Door Vent pressure is 99501.1
they are in absolute, so the readings are correct, accurate who knowsā¦
@Mike_Maxwell
thanks So what is the max reading before I should worry about too much back pressure?
