Refresh Ecobee More Often?

[tgrant48 (Terry Grant)]

I use the humidity reading from my Ecobee3 to turn on several humidifiers at different humidity levels via smart outlets using the Smart Humidifier App. It actually does the job pretty well. However, there is a lag in time sometimes five or more minutes before the Ecobee will refresh the reading in the ST App thus causing the humidity to overrun higher than it should. Is there a way to “poll” or cause the ST app to refresh the Ecobee more often to prevent this??

Hi,

The ST stock ecobee device doesn’t allow a refresh rate below 5 minutes, but My ecobee device can do the refresh every minute if needed.

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 Automation variables available for your scenarios [MyEcobeeAutomation] My Ecobee Device in Fahrenheit [MyEcobeeDeviceInF] [MyEcobeeDeviceHistoryInF] [MyEcobeeDeviceInF_P2] [MyEcobeeDeviceCustom_P3_C] [MyEcobeeDeviceCustom_P4_C] My Ecobee Device in Celsius [MyEcobeeDeviceCustom_P1_C] [MyEcobeeDeviceCustom_P2_C] [MyEcobeeDeviceCustom_P3_C] [MyEcobeeDTHGraphInC] [MyEcobeeDTHHisto…

Also, you can also connect your Humidier/Dehumidifer to ecobee, and then use the MonitorAndSetEcobeeHumidity smartapp which can also turn on/off some smart switch(es) if needed.

[RELEASE] Would you like to control your Humidifier/Dehumidifier/HRV/ERV with your ecobee thermostat and ST?

To whom it may concern, For those of you who have an ecobee thermostat and would like to control your connected Humidifier/Dehumidifier/HRV/ERV. There is an app for that! It’s called MonitorAndSetEcobeeHumidity and it’s available now at my github: https://github.com/yracine/device-type.myecobee/tree/master/smartapps Prerequisites: Ecobee thermostat controlled via ST by MyEcobee device Your Humidifier/Dehumidifier/HRV/ERV connected to ecobee Outdoor Temp/Humidity Sensor or ST WeatherStation such as this one (optional): https://github.com/yracine/device-type.weatherstation Temperature/Humidity Sensor (optional) for better humidity adjustment The smartapp has been there for a while, but I just did an UI revamp for easier navigation. The smartapp can also do the following: Abilit…

The smartapp will calculate the ideal humidity level for your home based on the outdoor/indoor conditions at your home, and then activate the right device (humidifier/dehumidifier/ventilator and/or smart switches) to achieve your target humidity level.

See my github for all the complimentary smartapps available with My Ecobee device:

Get a multi sensor in the rooms you want to control. They will be faster than Ecobee’s reporting. Ecobee was not really designed to be realtime with other integrations.
