Hello! I recently swapped over to the new SmartThings app and notice on the Sensors it shows “Motion Detected” or “No Motion Detected” instead of just showing the temperature default. Is there a way to change the sensors to show temperature on the main SmartThings dashboard?
Thank you!
SmartThings has not made that possible, sorry.
I don’t know. Maybe another user can chime in, but I haven’t heard anything, good or bad.
Do you have the helper set to only adjust during the Sleep program?
I don’t believe so. In the help app, for the “Conditions: Perform Actions only when the Location Mode is” field, I left that blank since I didn’t want to limit the helper app from running at any time.
This update is primarily cosmetic, and all of the SmartApps and Helpers have been updated (the Sensor and Thermostat drivers have not been changed).
I’m not going to list all of the version numbers anymore, but here are the primary non- cosmetic changes:
I highly recommend that Ecobee Suite users make the small investment in time to setup one of the available automated package managers. This will significantly reduce the manual overhead of upgrading to new releases. Available options include:
These updates are recommended for all Ecobee Suite users
I have installed the app and the Ecobee site is asking for a 4 digit validation code. It appears to be operational. Did I miss a step during install that required a 4 digit validation code?
Great work with the app!
It sounds like you turned on Ecobee’s two-factor authentication…
It’s not set. When I log into the ecobee web portal and I click on my apps, the first screenshot comes up, I click add application and then it asks to validate your app.
The first screen confirms that you have authorized Ecobee Suite for SmartThings on this account.
The second screen is how you would add an app that uses PIN authentication, instead of the native authentication I used in the Ecobee Suite. You can ignore this…
Thanks, I figured something like that and it seemed to work ok but better to ask and confirm. Great work again!
Hi I am fairly new to Smartthings and am in the process of adding new SmartApp as I learn more.
I’ve recently tried to install the Ecobee Suite Manager and used the community installer but ran into a few problems. I followed the steps outlined on the GitHub doc and got it all installed, except when I got to the SmartApp part (using ST Classic App), after authenticating with my Ecobee credentials and trying to save them, I get message it is successfully installed followed by a second error message indicting “Device is still in use” “Remvoe from any SMartapps or Dashboards, then try again”, which is preventing me from proceeding.
BTW … I had to turn off 2-factor authentication on my Ecobee account to allow this to work. Can I turn it back on once the OAth credentials are saved?
I previously had Ecobee Connect SmartApp and have already removed it. I did remove my 3 Ecobee thermostats and 3 sensors from the app, before removing it.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Can anyone help or point me to where I can get some support?
FAQ question #1: the test devices didn’t get removed before SmartThings health check linked them in. You need to manually delete the two test devices it created - one test Thermostat and one test Sensor. Look in the “Devices” page in the IDE to find them and delete them. Then you should be able to proceed…
Not to worry, happens about 1/2 the time…
Also - you may have gotten caught in this error situation on SmartThings this morning.:

Thanks for your quick response on this!
I had actually seen both the test thermostat and sensor but didn’t want to delete them in case they were required as part of the install. I have now removed them both and was able to complete the install.
An additional question. Per my earlier comment, I had to turn off 2 factor authentication on my Ecobee account to install this, so would it break things if I turn it back on now?
I don’t know about the 2FA, except that everything works fine if you don’t turn it on…
So I’ve gone through the steps in the github guide but I can’t seem to authenticate. I have no problem authenticating using the smartthings ecobee connect app, but I can’t authenticate through Ecobee Suite. I should add I’d been using StrykerSKS for quite a while and just stopped being able to login with it. I’m not sure if it’s connected but it looks like ecobee changed something with their login page. Here’s a screenshot of what the new login page looks like in the built-in ecobee connect app. Ecobee Suite appears to still have the old one, and from what I can tell it no longer works. I’d really appreciate any help.
A few things to try:
if you enabled two-factor ecobee authentication, disable it And try again
be sure to log out of ecobee from every other browser window/tab on your device
if it fails, exit all the way out of ES Manager before trying again
SmartThings has been having issues today. Try logging out of SmartThings entirely before trying again.
If all this fails, capture Live Logging while you try again, then send me the live logs for ES Manager while you try to authenticate.
Thanks!
Barry
I had originally thought it might be 2FA so I’d already disabled that. I logged out of every browser and even the ecobee app and tried again. I also logged out of smartthings and then back in. No luck. I captured the live log, but I’m not sure how helpful it will be. Nothing appears to happen in the live log when the authentication fails. It tells me I have a wrong username and password, but it’s the same username and password I just used to login to the ecobee app. I’m copy pasting it too to make sure I’m not screwing it up.
