Usually when this happens, the answer is to simply relogin to Ecobee cloud via Ecobee (Connect). Under no circumstances should you have to uninstall and reinstall to get it working again.
Try logging in again (even though it may say you are already logged in). Then, wait a couple of minutes , and then press the Refresh button, wait until the Bee returns, then press it again.
Received Smartthings app notification that ecobee credentials were lost/disconnected so i proceeded to re authorize but was unable to the ecobee credentials screen was blank.
Hard to tell - I got disconnected twice over the past week, and both times it appeared to clearly be an issue with the Ecobee cloud, not my suite.
If anyone happens to capture Live Logging when the initial disconnect happens, that will help me understand if it can be avoided/recovered automatically (the big one that just happened to lots of us was not recoverable - it looked like Ecobee cloud went down for longer than 1 hour and invalidated all the authentication keys in the processâŠ)
Ecobee Thermostat version 1.2.8 just posted to the GitHub will fix the issue.
FYI, the error did not effect the changing of the temperature setpoints, only the immediate update of the current setpoint, which will be automatically corrected on the next update from the Ecobee Cloud.
Thanks @ffuentes, my family, friends, neighbors and our property survived the storm wellâŠ
At present, my implementation does not allow you to incorporate non-Ecobee sensors into the Ecobee heating/cooling setpoint targets.
While not impossible, it requires replicating much of the logic already built into the thermostat to figure out what the target temperature at the thermostat needs to be in order to get all the registered sensors to average out to a specific target. And since there is no way to control the actual temperature displayed on the thermostat (which is currently the current average of the dependent sensors), any solution will introduce inconsistencies between what is displayed on the thermostat, within SmartThings, and the actual temperatures being averaged.
Since Yvesâ My Ecobee Device does already provide this option (with all its warts), Iâm not planning to invest to do the same. It would probably require minimal edits to my Ecobee Suite to allow his automation SmartApp to control my thermostat devices, but thatâs probably not something he would like for anyone to actually do (although he has posted the SmartApps as âfreeâ, while his My Ecobee Device requires a mandatory âcontributionâ to get access to it).
And I donât know if itâs related, but normally I would set my thermostat to Auto mode and set a range⊠ie: 74 to 68
I would then be able to change the temp via Google Home by saying, âHey Google, set the bedroom to 72 degreesâ
It worked fine since day 1, but I just noticed within the last few days (I was out of town for about 3 weeks) that it no longer works.
Google Home (and Google Assistant - from the phone) now responds with âThe Eco Therm: Bedroom canât be set to that temperatureâ
If your thermostat is is Auto mode, and you arenât using SmartAuto (set in Ecobee (Connect) Preferences), then we donât know which temperature you are trying to change (heating or cooling).
If you enable Smart Auto, then it will change the cooling setpoint if the requested setpoint is below the current temperature, and it will increase the heating setpoint if the request is higher than the current temperature. Thus I think youâll get what you want if you enable Smart Auto in Preferences.
I lost power for a few days after Hurricane Irma and when it came back, seemed to take care of my issues. However, now theyâre back. It seems like the app canât or wonât make changes to the thermostat. It reads things fine, but I canât change the temp manually or through routines. For example, when I leave and the Goodbye routine runs, the ST mode is changed to Away and thermostat is set to 85. The latter doesnât happen though. I canât change anything from the app itself, just view the current settings. Iâve tried logging in and out of Ecobee Connect multiple times and it shows that itâs connected to ST in the log, but just refuses to make any changes.
Letâs start with versions: what are the version numbers of ALL you SmartApps and Devices? You can find the version at the bottom of each SmartApp and at the top of preferences for the devices
