And, BTW, I don’t recommend the ecobee3’s remote motion sensors as they have some API limitations that are not suitable for HA scenarios. It’s all explained at the ST community wiki: [http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=Ecobee3RemoteSensorInit#Known\_issues](http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=Ecobee3RemoteSensorInit#Known_issues) And, under this thread: > [@New Ecobee lite Thermostat - much cheaper-](https://community.smartthings.com/t/new-ecobee-lite-thermostat-much-cheaper-with-no-remote-sensors/60279): > > Here is the new model (officially announced) You can also search for a rebate in your local area: And, you can check if ecobee is compatible with your configuration by using this tool: For a summary of the benefits of the ecobee thermostat vs. other thermostats, see my explanations here: [http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=My\_Ecobee\_Device#Why\_ecobee\_vs.\_other\_connected\_thermostats.3F](http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=My_Ecobee_Device#Why_ecobee_vs._other_connected_thermostats.3F) - You can use My Ecobee device to pair it to SmartThings and still be able to reproduce the “follow me” features with any ST connected sensors. - You then just need the $15 (standalone device) package.

First thanks for making all these solutions, i’ve purchased and really enjoying the features & flexibility. A question regarding using other ST connected temp/motion sensors with Ecobee. Is there any method to perform this based upon constraints? For example, my ecobee 3 lite is downstairs but at nighttime i’d prefer to shift the temp monitoring to my upstairs ST sensors. During the day however, i’d not like to consider those sensors. Thanks again for everything! ---

Hi Paul, The _EcobeeSetZoneWithSchedule_ smartapp available at my store can do it by creating zones inside your home. Your upstairs zone can then be triggered only during the evening/night schedules. You can even choose the calculation method to be used for the temps collected at your sensors. You may want to use a different calculation method than just doing an average. The calculation methods that can configured in the smartapp are the following: - Avg (Average) which is the default (this is similar to the ecobee3’s follow me feature) - Med (Median) - Min (MInimum) - Max (Maximum) - Heat Min/Cool Max: this method will take the minimum when the tstat’s mode is heating or the maximum when the tstat’s mode is cooling (useful when tstat’s mode is auto). For more details, refer to this thread: > [@\*\*\* No longer supported \*\*\* \[RELEASE\] Best Zoned Heating/Cooling smartapps](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-new-version-of-my-zoned-heating-cooling-solutions-smart-vents/38349): > > To whom it may concern, My smartapps are now officially approved by Keen Home: [image] The new UI presentation amongst others adds a custom capability (setZoneSetpoint see image below).

Hoping someone can help clear up my confusion/problems. I am trying to get non-ecobee sensors working with my ecobee3 lite, I have the My Ecobee Device installed and working and have installed the remote sensor app and device handler using [https://github.com/yracine/device-type.myecobee/blob/master/smartapps/readme.ecobee3RemoteSensor](https://github.com/yracine/device-type.myecobee/blob/master/smartapps/readme.ecobee3RemoteSensor) However, none of my ST devices ( i.e. Aeon Multisensor 6 ) that report temp and motion, show up when start up the ecobeeRemoteSensorInit app. I just get a blank page. The readme referenced above mentions: "If you have a blank page in ecobeeRemoteSensorInit or “a unexpected error occurred” while executing the smartapp: * * * ## d) Make sure that you have the latest ecobee firmware (at least v3.6) at the tstat as motion sensors are not detected prior to that firmware version. And, of course, make sure that all your remote sensors are actually reporting to the physical thermostat… In some cases, remote sensors may have some connection issues with your physical thermostat, and my code is not able to detect them. " I have confirmed firmware but I’m confused by the “actually report to the physical thermostat”. How do I get the aeon multisensor to report to the physical thermostat? Is this done thru the ecobee app? In my ecobee app, I have no remote sensors listed which is what I would expect since I don’t have any ecobee remote sensors. Am I misunderstanding the functionality of the remotesensor app??? ---

Hi @mmaniaci, You’re using the wrong smartapp. _ecobeeRemoteSensorInit_ is used only to expose your ecobee3 or ecobee4’s proprietary remote sensors to SmartThings as indicated at the ST community wiki: [http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=Ecobee3RemoteSensorInit](http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=Ecobee3RemoteSensorInit) To use any other ST connected sensors (ex. Aeon MultiSensor, SmartSense or Iris Temp/Motion Sensors, etc), refer to the 1st post of this thread: [[RELEASE] Would you like to use any ST connected temp & motion sensors with Ecobee?](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-would-you-like-to-use-any-st-connected-temp-motion-sensors-with-ecobee/49044/) For your use case, the smartapps to be used are either _MonitorAndSetEcobeeTemp_ (at my github) or _ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule_ (which has many more features, ex. zones & schedules and it’s available at my store). For more details about both smartapps, refer to the ST community wiki: [http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=Category:Unpublished\_SmartApps](http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=Category:Unpublished_SmartApps) Regards. ---

Thanks so much for the response and getting me straightened out. I assumed ( incorrectly ) that after clicking the first link, which brings users automatically to the readme, that was what I needed to do… after adding MonitorAndSetEcobeeTemp.src as an app, I got things working. ---

Hi, yes, any connected ST temp/motion sensors can be used. It’s a one way integration which means that the temp/motion values will be used to adjust the setpoints under SmartThings, but you won’t see the sensor’s values at the ecobee portal or the app, just the setpoints adjustment (as a hold). For more details, refer to the ST community wiki: [http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=MonitorEcobeeTemp](http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=MonitorEcobeeTemp) If you want to have more granular control of which connected ST sensor(s) you’re using at a given period of the day, I’d recommend to use _ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule,_ which is a far more advanced smartapp at my store. [www.ecomatiqhomes.com/store](http://www.ecomatiqhomes.com/store) It brings much more features… Refer to: [http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=EcobeeSetZoneWithSchedule](http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=EcobeeSetZoneWithSchedule) Regards ---

Hey folks…Hopefully quick question. I recently added a second remote sensor to my setup and now I am having issues where my remote sensors are not functioning accurately in ST. Both sensors work great in Ecobee but they don’t match in ST. I tried re-adding them to ST and that didn’t help. I am not seeing motion reported at all in ST and the temp seems to be stuck at the same temp even though it is reporting every 5 minutes. Do I need to go all the back to the beginning by removing the smart apps and device handler from IDE? Thanks, John ---

Hi John, Just to be sure, you’re talking about some ecobee’s proprietary sensors? Could you check that your Ecobee device responds to request by doing a refresh? Also, you’re on an older version. I sent you an email about the update procedure to be followed. Please reply to my email. EDIT: Back in August, I sent out a new version that allows to rename your ecobee’s proprietary remote sensors under ST. If you have renamed them, that would be the problem. Regards. ---

I am talking about the proprietary sensors. I did a refresh and it does seem to be communicating regularly. I thought I was on a newer version. I just received an email recently, wednesday perhaps? I did change names so you might be onto my problem there. Do I need to change them back? Thanks, John ---

Do you mean when you use _MonitorAndSetEcobeeTemp_? As indicated at the ST community wiki, this smartapp doesn’t allow manual overrides. You need then to increase your setpoints using the ecobee comfort settings in the ecobee app or at the ecobee portal. See the prerequisites section: [http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=MonitorEcobeeTemp](http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=MonitorEcobeeTemp) However, if you often change your thermostat setpoints manually, I’d recommend to contribute to _ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule_ as this paid smartapp has the logic to allow manual overrides (and much more using the concept of “zones”): [http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=EcobeeSetZoneWithSchedule](http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=EcobeeSetZoneWithSchedule) Regards [Previous page](https://community.smartthings.com/t/obsolete-would-you-like-to-use-any-st-connected-temp-motion-sensors-with-ecobee/49044.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.smartthings.com/t/obsolete-would-you-like-to-use-any-st-connected-temp-motion-sensors-with-ecobee/49044.md?page=3)
