I cannot support custom device types. There’s one of me and thousands of you with hundreds of custom device types. That’s why SmartTiles works with capabilities, with Weather Tiles being the only example.
I copied this from the other thread:
If you clone a device type, the clone in your IDE will not be selectable when a particular device type is expected as an input.
If you want your custom weather device type to work with SmartTiles, you have to give it a different name and name space. Then, you have to change SmartTiles code to take device with that new name as input.
I am using the @yvesracine code for my Ecobee Smart SI thermostat, and the heat setpoint works fine, changes in the dashboard immediately changes the thermostat. But when I change the cool setpoint, it does not do anything at all. In fact, after a few seconds it defaults to the value from the thermostat. So if the thermostats is at 72, and I change it to 75, it wont change it on the app or the thermostat and eventually the tile will change to 72.
I can confirm not working here with my Nest. I don’t get the hand symbol like on heat to change the temp in windows and using android it just refreshing the tile.
Interestingly, I use SmartTiles, and the SmartThings ecobee device type from the Labs, and I have the same issue. I opened a case, and support stated they think its an api related issue. Probably causing the same issue @rey_rios is experiencing.
Support did say they are still working with ecobee on the reliability of the integration, so I would not be surprised of the other device type has the same issue. But its good to hear that you found a bug, so the issue may not be as bad in reality as I had felt/experienced.
Hi, I installed the Nest on ST and it works fine from there, but with ActiON 5 it only shows the status info, but I cannot change the temp setpoint. Anyone else have this problem?
Hello @darrylb, this is not an ecobee API issue as I can change my coolingSetpoint w/o any problems within the custom ecobee device type that I created…
Glad that Alex found the issue within SmartTiles… BTW, It’s an amazing dashboard (from one Canadian to another)…
@yvesracine : I am happy your not having an API issue. Unfortunately, I am, and that has been confirmed. Now, it may have been resolved since—so I need to retest. I will be once the ActiOn update is published
