[DEPRECATED] Universal Ecobee Suite, Version 1.8.01

storageanarchy · March 29, 2020, 3:28pm

what version of ES Manager are you running?

yototogblo · March 29, 2020, 3:46pm

1.8.04

yototogblo · March 29, 2020, 3:47pm

I now see that there are updates. Do you expect the updates will fix the errors? Either ways, will make the updates now.

Thanks.

storageanarchy · March 29, 2020, 4:01pm

I don't know that the posted version will fix those errors, but I am getting ready to post an update that should reduce the frequency, if not outright fix the problem.

Note that it is a transient error - occaisionally we get back bad data from api.ecobee.com...the version I'm about to post improves error handling and recovery as well...

Major Updates for Ecobee Suite posted 29 Mar, 2020 at 7:00pm EDT

Included in this updates are several new capabilities, bug fixes and optimizations including:

All Ecobee Suite Drivers and Apps

Users of Echo Speaks can now have Notifications sent as Echo Announcements, which preceeds the message with the trademark "bee-boop" associated with Announcement from Amazon
When sending notifications to multiple Echo Speaks devices, you can now have them all make their Announcements 'simultaneously' (not perfect, but better than hearing the same message come from each Echo device randomly).
The portability library now uses "global" @Fields instead of atomicState, for significantly reduced overhead
The Helpers no longer try to log their events to their parent ES Manager, as this turns out to be extremely expensive on the SmartThings platform (often causing execution timeouts).
Extensive optimizations to the event generation logic that ES Manager uses to update ES Thermostats and ES Sensors

Specific version numbers and fixes

Ecobee Suite Manager, version 1.8.16
- Fixed initial installation processing to ensure that ALL attributes are updated within the first 2-3 cycles.
  - A Forced Refresh will now flush the internal caches for the requesting device, forcing the next cycle to completely resend all of the devices' current attributes.
    - On Hubitat, Forced Refresh is available as a command button on the ES devices
    - On SmartThings, tap the "Ecobee" logo button once, wait for it to reappear and then quickly tap it again.
  - Use this cautiously - it should NEVER be necessary except as a last resort
- Optimized http exception handling and recovery
- Streamlined the cycle reporting to include the entire session. Before it reporting only the time it took to process the data from the Ecobee Cloud;
  - Because of this change, the cycle times will appear to be longer with this release, but they are actually shorter due to other optimizations
- Removed the thermostat and sensor name reporting from the logs, because I have decided that it's just not worth the additional overhead

@storageanarchy I just set this app up for the first time and I am not seeing the thermostats and sensors submenus. I have clicked done many times and even removed the app and set it up again.

I also see this error in the logs:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method toInteger() on null object on line 6581 (installed)

storageanarchy · March 30, 2020, 11:43pm

Ecobee Suite Manager hotfix posted 30 March 2020 at 7:40pm EDT

This update fixes a NullPointException error that occurs for some people during an initial install.

PLEASE NOTE: Some SmartThings users are reporting errors that indicate they have been HTTP rate-limited. This matter is being actively investigated, but is not known to be fixed by this release.

ritchierich · March 30, 2020, 11:59pm

Thanks Barry. I am all set now, appreciate the quick help.

Could you please consider including the "importUrl:" in the apps definition() function? This way it is retained and I don't have to lookup the import URL each time. Maybe you have left this out because it impacts ST?

storageanarchy · March 31, 2020, 12:07am

The ImportURL is already there (unless I missed one).

Unfortunately, last I checked, Hubitat doesn't honor it for Apps, just for Drivers (I include it in both). But once you import the App once, it seems to remember the URL.

Unless I'm doing something wrong...

ritchierich · March 31, 2020, 12:12am

Hum I guess I missed it. But had noticed you updated the Suite Manager app and went to import again and it wasn't populated.

I am now getting another error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot set property '511889062899' on null object on line 4733 (pollEcobeeAPICallback)

None of the newly created devices have any state values.

storageanarchy · March 31, 2020, 12:41am

Try grabbing the updated 1.8.17a of Ecobee Suite Manager - that should get you up and running...

ritchierich · March 31, 2020, 1:26am

Making progress! Devices now have state values. I did see an error for the Ecobee Suite Thermostat device though in the logs:

groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Ambiguous method overloading for method java.math.BigDecimal#plus.
Cannot resolve which method to invoke for [null] due to overlapping prototypes between:
[class java.lang.Character]
[class java.lang.String]
[class java.lang.Number]
[class java.math.MathContext] on line 1557 (generateEvent)

is there any way to turn off the log.info and log.trace messages with a preference I may have missed? Or are those just on the initial population since I am just now getting this setup.

storageanarchy · March 31, 2020, 1:53am

Set your Debug Log Level to 2, and the messages will be minimized to a level that works well with Hubitat.

That error is going to require a little time to dig into...I will get back to you in the morning...

Ecobee Suite Update posted 11 April 2020 at 7:30am EDT

This release is primarily focused on performance and functional optimizations for the Hubitat platform, with few new features. Most of the core data collection and delivery operations have been extensively streamlined to reduce memory footprint, CPU cycles, and repetitive backing store operations. The net result is a much lighter impact on the hub, and much better responsiveness.

Fixes include more consistent weather updates, better delivery of messages to Notification Devices (including Echo Speaks devices), improved custom notifications and better handling of Program restrictions in those Helpers that offer such.

All 15 files have been updated:

Ecobee Suite Thermostat, version ~~1.8.11~~ 1.8.12 - Hotfix! *
Ecobee Suite Sensor, version ~~1.8.06~~ 1.8.07 - Hotfix! *
Ecobee Suite Manager, version ~~1.8.27 1.8.28~~ 1.8.29 - Hotfix! *
Ecobee Suite Open Contacts, version ~~1.8.14 1.8.15~~ 1.8.16 - Hotfix! *
Ecobee Suite Quiet Time, version 1.8.05
Ecobee Suite Routines, version ~~1.8.10~~ 1.8.11 - Hotfix! *
Ecobee Suite Smart Circulation, version ~~1.8.06~~ 1.8.07 - Hotfix! *
Ecobee Suite Smart Humidity, version 1.8.06
Ecobee Suite Smart Mode, version ~~1.8.14~~ 1/8.15 - Hotfix! *
Ecobee Suite Smart Room, version 1.8.10
Ecobee Suite Smart Switches, version 1.8.05
Ecobee Suite Smart Vents, version 1.8.08
Ecobee Suite Zones, version 1.8.07
Ecobee Suite Thermal Comfort, version 1.8.10
Ecobee Suite Working From Home, version 1.8.11

These updates are recommended for all Ecobee Suite users, on both SmartThings & Hubitat

ES Manager Hotfix 1.8.28 (4/11/20) - show thermostat names in Live Logging instead of 'null'
ES Open Contacts Hotifx 1.8.15 (4/12/20) - formatting fix for HVAC off delay settings
ES Routines Hotfix 1.8.11 (4/12/20) - formatting fix for Switch on/off in settings
ES Smart Circulation Hotfix 1.8.07 (4/12/20) - made LOGs much less chatty

ES Sensor Hotfix (4/14/20) - DeviceWatch fix for hubless ST (ST only)
ES Manager Hotfix (4/14/20) - JSON formatting error in setHold()
ES Open Contacts Hotfix (4/14/20) - Typo was preventing actions on dontact open

The above aren't mandatory, but if you are using the native SmartThings/GitHub integration, or the SmartThings Community Installer, it is trivial to update...

Announcement for Hubitat Users of Ecobee Suite

As of this morning, I have added support for @dman2306 's brand-spankin' new Hubitat Package Manager into my release.

Once you install the Hubitat Package Manager, installing and updating Ecobee Suite couldn't be simpler - Select it from the (rapidly expanding) list of supported apps and drivers, push a button, and all the updated files are installed on your hub!

(SmartThings users: you can still use the native SmartThings/GitHub Integration, and/or the SmartThings Community Installer).

ritchierich · April 13, 2020, 1:10am

OMG @dman2306's Package Manager is amazing. To be perfectly candid I have wanted to use your Ecobee solution for a long time but given the number of updates (which is good and bad) I was concerned about the amount of time it will take to keep it up to date. After installing the Package Manager it couldn't have been easier. Thank you @storageanarchy and @dman2306 Cheers!!!

aaron · April 13, 2020, 12:52pm

+1 for me too.
