Hi @ADHawk, I’m glad that you appreciate the work that has been done to build the package.
No, if you set up the ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule smartapp, you don’t need MonitorAndSetEcobeeTemp anymore as the zoned solution is a far more advanced version.
Don’t run them together as they may interfere to each other.
If you want to received notifications on your mobile, then you can use the sendPush method.
My smartapps don’t provide these features as people usually don’t want to receive these kinds of notifications.
Hi, I don’t use Core, but I know that you can subscribe or receive events related to an attribute. Please consult the Core thread for more details.

Thanks for the response. I switched over to ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule, and overall things seem to be running OK. There are a few things that I have observed that are a little bit puzzling.
First, I noticed that AdjustTstatVs.IndoorAvgTemp is set to false. I’m not quite sure why this would be, whether there is a setting I missed somewhere, or whether that is typical.
Second, I have a mix of Ecobee sensors and third-party sensors throughout the house that should be reporting temp and motion into the ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule. Temp seems to be reporting accurately, but I’ve seen several instances where the ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule app sees the room as occupied well after motion has ceased and the 15 minute refresh period has passed. Can you think of a reason this might be? I’ve included a few screenshots for reference.
Yes, it’s typical. By default, the flag is set to false. If you want the smartapp to do the avg, then you need to set it up to true. You can even use a different calculation method (‘median’, ‘min’, ‘max’, etc) to collect the values from your sensors.
I’ve not noticed that at home as my sensors are refreshed on a regular basis. I don’t know which sensors you’re using (it looks like an aeon multisensor gen6).
My smartapp checks the last 15 minutes (by default) using the standard ST history method to do so:
So, the smartapp should work as intended if your sensor DTH generates the right events to SmartThings.
Yes, my smartapp will work with any vent DTHs (Device Type Handler) that implement the standard switch and dimmer capabilities (not only Keen vents). I cannot say at this time if Ecovent Or Flair vents support those capabilities.
OK, I’m thinking of taking the plunge and replacing my existing ecobee integration with yours. I basically have 4 ecobee3 units each with 1-2 remote sensors. What do I need to do to get started? I’ve read through a bunch of your stuff, but it is a little confusing. I assume I need the init app (which appears to do the authentication with ecobee) and then some additional apps. Which ones do I need and which ones support my devices?
I think for right now I just want to be able to basic stuff like tie system into my Away and Present modes would be a good start. No smart vents, no other ST sensors.
