TL/DR: Also provide an Ecobee Sensor device for the actual temperature reading at the thermostat
The Ecobee thermostat API provides two temperature readings for the thermostat:
- the averaged value (as measured over all the active temperature sensors for the current comfort setting); this is displayed on the thermostat and the value the Ecobee integration currently uses
- the actual temperature value measured at the thermostat; this is displayed on the thermostat and on the Ecobee app under the list of temperature sensors
The community integration Ecobee Suite Manager has a setting to include the 2nd value as a separate Ecobee sensor device:
The built-in integration doesn't show this value at all. But it's available in the API. I'm just asking that the built-in integration also add this value as a temperature sensor device.
