Temperature difference between Ecobee unit and Hubitat Device

[Bruce123]

I was wondering why the current temperature on my Ecobee unit is reporting 23.5C but on the Hubitat device, it is reporting as 24C. Any idea why there's a discrepancy? TIA.

Just a guess, but if you round up from 23.5, you get 24.

I’m not sure how likely an explanation that is, since I don’t have an Ecobee. The driver for my thermostat does report its current temperature to 1/10 of a degree.

I think you are spot on.

I have mine set to F instead of C and it never shows the 1/10 of a degree.

Is that the built in Driver or Ecobee Suites.

Goto your dashboard and click the 3 dot menu to edit your thermostat tile. Check if you have the option 'Temperature Adjustment Increment' down towards the bottom. If shown you can change it to 0.5 to indicate half degrees. Considering your device page says 24° perhaps it only allows whole degrees.

[Bruce123]

Perhaps, it did rounded off.
It's the built-in driver.

I'm using Sharptools for my dashboard so I don't have that option. BTW, what about this Minimum temperature difference... preference? What exactly does this do? Will changing this fixes it?

[Grizzlebeard]

I think that is to ensure adequate separation of the cool and heat setpoints in auto mode. This will prevent endless cycling between cooling and heating.

Goto your dashboard

From the screenshot of the device Current States, the issue appears to be the temperature recorded on the device, not an issue with the display of that in a dashboard, unfortunately.

@Bruce123
Maybe try turning on any debug logging and see what comes out.

The OP’s issue is unrelated to dashboards. As Simon said, the screenshots are of the device settings page.

I think we need input from other ecobee users about whether this is expected behavior from the driver.

I use the Ecobee Suite by SANdood, I also use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.

So probably not much help but my temperature reported by the device and the Ecobee app always match. At least I can never recall it not matching, and it matches right now, 75 on both, I don't think I have ever seen a decimal number displayed on either.

[Bruce123]

I have a feeling that the Ecobee built-in driver doesn't support a 10th of a degree in Celsius as even the Current States doesn't indicate it. Perhaps I'll give the Ecobee Suite by SANdood a try and see. Thanks all.
