Using Ecobee Sensors with Other Thermostats?

[yvesracine]

Hi @Christopher

The ecobee3 sensors cannot work with other thermostats, they use a proprietary protocol…

If you want to reproduce a similar configuration as the ecobee3, you can buy any z-wave or zigbee sensors with the thermostat of your choice (as long as it’s supported by ST such as the CT-100) and use the following smartapp:

Hello @Jonathan McGuire, Good news, I was able to integrate the logic for use case no 2… Actually, what I’m doing is the following: a) calculate the avg temp based on any given zone’s rooms where there are temp sensors (with the occupied or not option) b) calculate the avg temp diff between the avg temp in the zone and the desired temp c) for each room, calculate the temp diff between the room temp sensor and the desired temp d) adjust the vent set level (in %) based on temp_diff_at_sensor / zone_avg_temp_diff The setLevel will then be more precise than just open, close, or half close. FYI, please note that the vent settings are adjusted every 5 minutes within a given schedule. As I don’t have my keen home vents yet, I was able to test it with my light dimmers and the logic se…

The smartapp allows adjustments at the thermostat based on an average temp calculation from room’s sensors.
