THIS RELEASE IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED as of Feb. 27, 2023
PLEASE SEE HERE FOR THE LATEST 1.9.00 RELEASE INFORMATION
I am pleased to announce the general availability of the Ecobee Suite, version 1.8.01.
This release delivers a number of significant new features, updates, and bug fixes, including:
A New Smart Humidity Helper
A new, improved look and feel for ES Manager and all of the ES Helpers, with many Hubitat-specific design components
Significantly improved performance (and reduced overhead) running on both Hubitat & SmartThings platforms
New integration between the Smart Room and Smart Vents helpers
New APIs for adding and removing sensors to programs, including the ability to atomically update all changes in a single API call (sensor.updateSensorPrograms(adds, removes)
A first pass at HubConnect Custom Drivers for both the ES Thermostat and ES Sensor devices.(These will be extended once the current HubConnect Beta is complete)*
Tons of bug fixes, correcting many nagging issues
Numerous user-requested enhancements, including:
Now supports both Residential and Commercial Ecobee accounts
Smart Vents supports the use of Virtual Thermostats to set the target temperatures for a room
(more after I get the release notifications posted)...
The comprehensive list of updates is too large and complex to document here, but I have also updated the documentation to reflect the latest updates - see the README.md in the Ecobee Suite GitHub repository (linked below).
This release can (and should) be installed directly on top of your currently running environment. Hubitat users are advised to use the Import function to get the latest code, while SmartThings users can either use the SmartThings/GitHub integration, or the SmartThings Application Installer.

As always, the latest code can be found here:
Thanks again for your hardwork and dedication. Anyway, just like my previous post in the deprecated thread, I have 2 ecobee 3 lite thermostat. The one upstairs works ok, but the downstairs is missing “cool” in the supportedThermostatMode. On version .02 auto heat and cool were missing. Now only “cool” is missing.
If this hasn't resolved itself after a couple of hours, then something has been corrupted and you will need to uninstall and re-install the entire Suite.
Also, as the instructions state, please install the entire Suite (including all of the Helpers). It is not designed (or tested) for you to only install the components that you plan on using. This could possibly be the cause of the issues you are seeing.
You are right, something must have corrupted during my installation before. I removed everything including the codes and re did everything from scratch. Thanks again boss!
I'm new to Hubitat (and home automation), but I'm loving this integration! I just wanted to share how I'm using it...
I have a Ring alarm with the Unofficial Ring Connect app. I have rules set up so that every time I arm the alarm 'Away', it automatically throws the thermostats into the 'Away' program. And then when the alarm is disarmed, it resumes schedule. There might be a better way and mine might be round-about but it looks like this... Ring -> HSM -> Hubitat Mode -> ecobee program
I have 2 A/C units (upstairs and downstairs). My wife works from home and stays mostly downstairs, but still goes upstairs occasionally throughout the day and our nursery is up there so our baby will nap up there. Being TX, it gets hot up there really fast and she's threatened to lock it to 72 degrees, 24/7. So instead, I've tied all of our indoor motion sensors to a virtual switch and use that switch to trigger the upstairs thermostat into 'Home' mode. So even if she's moving around downstairs, the upstairs unit will still "see" her. (Honestly, this is something ecobee should have thought have and built into their own devices.)
As I start adding more sensors (both ecobee and contact), I plan to use the Smart Rooms functionality, too. My wife is a photographer and runs the studio out of our home, but it's a huge room that I'd prefer to close off whenever possible.
@storageanarchy I noticed this evening that after the upgrade to 1.8.01, that the "Motion" State is gone from a State/Variable in the Ecobee sensors.
When looking at native attributes for Ecobee Sensor, Motion is in the drop down, but results in no data when selecting.
Is there a reason you left this out or was this an oversight?
Do you have plans to put the Motion State back into vs 1.8?
Update: I monitored this today, and at times the Motion Current Status goes missing from the device attributes. The sensor is registered and communicates with the Ecobee, so it is not offline.
Why would this State be just dissappearing from the attributes vs holding an Active or Inactive status?
So I took out the battery this morning and put it back in after a minute. Now Motion is showing as an Attribute again for this device, Active, and posted to the event log as well.
Hi, thanks for the effort of making this; I just installed the 1.8.06, with Ecobee 3, and a remote sensor. I did not find any information about adding ecobee device to dashboard, not sure if there is an alternative UI under Hubitat that I can use with these devices. Please advice, thanks.
