funnyfarm299 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 All right, I finally had a day off and could try out the demo of the Ecobee driver. Honestly, I don't get why everyone hypes it so much, The schedules don't pull correctly, changes are slow to reflect compared to the Nest and C4 thermostats, and the programming events are limited. I just want to be able to make a hold based on a climate... It almost makes me want to do the driver development course myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I just like the ecobee alone. It's an overall better unit then a nest Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Agreed! Very little reason to have the ecobee integrated as generally anything you'd need to do can be done with the ecobee alone or ecobee +IFTTT. The C4 add is just a little extra Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msgreenf Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 and btw - the driver is currently semi-broken. I have submitted a detailed bug to @thedriverslab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have submitted a detailed bug to @thedriverslab @msgreenf, you were using an old version of the driver if I correct and do believe that the current version was sent to you.

thedriverslab Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 @funnyfarm299, what version of the driver are you using? Where did you download the trial from? The difference in response time is do to the fact that the driver actually waits for a response from the unit. Most drivers just assume that the command was sent and received by the Control4 system. If there are questions or comments about features please feel free to contact us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did email you guys regarding both the scheduling issue and the possibility of adding climates. You never replied after the first email you sent me.

msgreenf Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 @funnyfarm299 current is 2.7.0 beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnyfarm299 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Just downloaded it off houselogix website. But I also checked the Driverslab website and their latest is still 1.0.0.5, so that should probably be fixed... I'll try it out after I get home tonight.

funnyfarm299 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 All right, I installed the new driver. Still doesn't show the correct schedule on composer or navigators. Also there's still no way to trigger a climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funnyfarm299 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Reviving old thread. I've been too busy with work to fudge with my own system. By climates I mean "away", "home", "sleep", etc. Is there a new driver version yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the scheduler to work you need to set it up via Control4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you install and authentic the communicator driver? Then you need the stat driver and run the discovery action which gives you a pin to pin into the T stat identification field Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wappinghigh Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 My nest is starting to throw a wobbly and I suspect it's the old battery no c wire thing. Though the nest driver is great the unit itself is starting to get unreliable and I don't think I'd get another one. To clever by half frankly. What do you do with this thing when the lithium battery goes? Chuck the whole darn nest out? That's ridiculous. so I'm thinking a swap to ecobbe or C4 Tstat because both have there own non rechargeable (replaceable) batteries right? Anyone else gone from nest to ecobee? Experiences? Ecobee driver ok? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 No idea on the Ecobee - but C4 uses normal aa battereis. That said. https://nest.com/ca/support/article/What-s-the-USB-port-on-the-back-of-the-Nest-Learning-Thermostat-for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxkp Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I have not integrated my ecobee yet, but it uses the power from the furnace. Original thermostat was battery and just plugged in the extra wire at the furnace (there is an adapter if you don't have an "extra" wire) Nice not worrying about swapping out batteries Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
