Ecobee Door/Window Sensors?

[mobrien86]

Ecobee has door and window sensors now, and I was sent an offer for 2 free when doing a 1 month free trial of their new Haven service.

They just showed up today and I have them added to Ecobee, but looking at the ecobee integration, it doesn't seem like they show up, only the remote temperature sensors do.

Has anyone else had a chance to play with these yet?

Yes @jlv has:

[DEPRECATED] Universal Ecobee Suite, Version 1.8.01

A new smart sensor (for the tstat) or the horribly named "smart sensor for doors and windows"? Ecobee sent me two of each of those, as well as the Smart Camera (the "security bundle"). The new style tstat sensors are just great - I replaced 2 of my older (13) ones that were at the limit of their range. The Camera is pretty nice. With the Haven subscription it adds some useful features. But there's no integration with anything else. And without the Haven subscription it's feature set is ter…

I suspect they are giving them away because they are so overpriced and no one is buying them.

With them taking 7-15 seconds to alert that a door has opened, they are pretty useless as contact sensors - at least for me (from my Amazon review).

And they are not exposed in the API yet, so none of the integrations can see them.

Yeah i noticed the lag right away. I only got them because they were free, so it they didn't work out they just get added to the ever growing pile of sensors.
