great, it seems that My Ecobee device DTH is all I need. I am trying to find on your website the link to purchase just that but for some reason I am having some troubles.
Is
My EcoBee Device for SmartThings with Remote Sensors smartapp (*) - $20
the simplest package to get started (I have an ecobee4) ?
So Iâm trying to use WindoworDoorOpen and having issues. It is turning off/on my Ecobee3, however text messages are not being sent and Iâm getting constant push notifications. My delay in notifications is 1 minute and max notifications are 1.
As the smartapp can turn off the thermostat(s), itâs been designed to send many notifications to remind users that their contact sensors are open and they need to take action about it. In some parts of the US & Canada, turning off the thermostat(s) for a long period could mean pipe bursting (in winter) or mold (in the summer). For this reason, the maximum number of notifications doesnât apply when you supply some thermostat(s) as input to the smartapp: itâs a safety measure.
If you donât want to receive push notifications, just say âNoâ to the following parameter in the smartapp:
You can also change the notification frequency (in minutes):
input "frequency", "number", title: "Delay between notifications in minutes", description: "", required: false
For text messages, I donât have any control over whether you telecom operator is supported or not by the ST notification provider⊠Iâm just using the regular sendSms() method.
I have been using this ST app for my two ecobee3 thermostats since 2015. The app is very high quality, reliable, and constantly improving. I have had a few issues with ST and ecobee (not the app) over the years, and Yves has been very quick to respond and help me fix those issues. The documentation he provides is extensive and very useful. I wish all SmartThings apps worked this good and were this well developed and supported.
So I just bought the standalone version for Smartthings and I wanted it primarily for a 2 hour hold when a new temp is set within ST. However, I only see âholdTypeâ and options are nextTransition or Indefinite. How do I set the 2 hour limit then it resumes schedule?
Edit, nm the command is âholdHoursâ
However, when I set holdHours: 2, it is only holding for 1 hour according to the ecobee display, am I inputting the command incorrectly?
I am experiencing an issue in the ST Mobile app with the ecobee3 device type. I am pretty sure it is not an issue with the device type itself since it works fine on my phone (Nexus 6P Android 7.1.2) but I am having an issue on my tablet (Sammy S2 Android 7.0).
Both are running the same version of the ST Mobile app.
But on the Sammy tab when I click to view one of my t-stats the UI just hangs.
I have tried clearing data/cache reinstalling app, rebooting device. No change. Works great on my phone though.
Anyone else experience this? Iâve already engaged with ST Support.
This is not something I can do(you can ask the authors of Action Tiles )⊠Iâm not sure that they will do it as this is quite specific to the ecobee thermostats.
P.S. Iâm on vacation so Iâm not able to provide more support.
@tgauchat any chance of adding a âRESUMEâ button for ecobee tiles to resume schedule on the ecobee devices?

Handling custom (i.e., âad hocâ) Commands and Attributes/Events is something not fundamental to ActionTiles at this time; but the utility of this is never far from our minds. Our primary focus is on proper implementation of the official SmartThings Capabilities, because that is the fundamental paradigm of their platform. Only problem is that a âdisciplinedâ way of expanding on Capabilities has yet to evolve (or be providedâŠ), even though developers have asked for it for over 3 years.
My recommendation in the meantime?
If âResume Scheduleâ is essentially a âSwitchâ item, then:
Perhaps @yvesracine or other Ecobee DTH developers can expose this as the âSwitchâ Attribute (i.e., add Capability âSwitchâ to the DTH). This works for any one function of any DTH.
or You can add your own Virtual Switch and link it to the custom Command & Attribute using a simple custom SmartApp, CoRE, or maybe the, ummm⊠âuniversal device translatorâ (I forget what it is called exactly).
Then you can add this Virtual Switch Tile to any Dashboard to live alongside the Thermostat Tile.
@Scott_Chapman, the only thing that you can try to avoid your ST UI issue is to comment out the line for the graphHTML ( around line 650, insert â//â before the instruction). See if it worksâŠ
OK, what information should I pass along to Samsung ST Support? Is the issue basically any tile which tries to display HTML or something more specific?
