[DEPRECATED] Universal Ecobee Suite, version 1.7.**

Two ways:

  1. (easiest) Install an Ecobee Remote Sensor in that room, and configure it to use that as its temperature sensor when it is in Away mode.
  1. (trickier) Use Rule Machine to watch that temperature sensor when your house is in Away mode, and if it exceeds your desired temp, have it do one of the following:
    • tell the thermostat to run the Home program (thermstat.home())
    • Set the thermostat's cooling setpoint lower (thermostat.setcoolingSetpoint(#)
    • Turn on a virtual switch; create a Modes/Switches/Programs Helper that changes the thermostat to Home when the switch comes on.
    • And of course, reverse the action after the temp reaches the desired point

I have the latest updates installed, but getting the following errors fairly frequently in the log:

You possibly don't have a name specified on your thermostat. Easiest way to set it is via the Ecobee web app - from the thermostat display its Settings / Preferences / Thermostat Name.

If that fixes it, please let me know - I need to provide a better error message (and update the documentation)

@storageanarchy Thanks for the quick reply.

I do have the Thermostat named, I am using "Main Floor" from the pre-configured names.

I tried changing it and saving again, but the same errors are posting in the logs.

@DenverTech99

Please update to the latest releases I posted this morning on my Github and let me know if that makes the problem go away...

Just curious, but what's with the "(Yes, it's Free!)" part of the topic here?

Long story that is irrelevant here in Hubitat-land. I had forgotten I had included that actually, so it's gone.

TYVM for reminding me...

Just a guess. But there are non-free Ecobee integrations for SmartThings.

Hey there...I can't seem to get the contacts helper to work. Here are screenshots of my configuration. I waited 10 minutes with multiple contacts sensors open and the app did not turn off the Ecobee. Help?



Try with the 1.7.05 version I just posted (forgot to include it in this morning's updates).

If it still doesn't work, look at the Live Logging for the Helper, the Thermostat and the Manager - see if there are any red "error" notices. If so, please forward them to me so I can see what's going on...

I won't be home till late tonight, I will attempt this tomorrow. Thank you for the quick replies and work on this.

No worries - at your convenience!

Ok I updated all of the code accordingly. Here are the errors:

app:29902019-05-30 06:26:15.274 pm errorjava.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Command 'currentValue' is not supported by device. on line 248 (updated)

app:29902019-05-30 06:26:15.119 pm infoEcobee Suite Contacts & Switches Helper,

Quick question, I looked through the thread and the .md file and didn't see anything about how to update on Hubitat. Do you just do the import for the manager and helpers to overwrite the existing code?

Yes, Tom - that's the easiest way. Once you import the files the first time, the newer versions of Hubitat appear to "remember" the source, so all you have to do is Import again...
