AKC Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I'm trying to get access to the occupancy information I know the Ecobee 4 is able to publish (it shows it when linked into HomeKit and through the Ecobee app). I have the Thermostat and Network drivers seemingly loaded in correctly (Stat reports Online and shows correct temp) but when adding a remote sensor driver I'm unable to associate a Sensor ID via the dropdown (as the docs suggest I need to do to get it running). Seems possible the disconnect is that the Ecobee 4 seems to have the sensor built into the stat and it's not separate hardware. The Sensor ID *is* the Stat ID, as far as I can tell. But without it populating in the dropdown I've got nothing to select. Or maybe I'm missing something else basic, but it seems like this should be working. Has anyone got this working? Edit: In case it matters, 2.10.6. And I *do* have the bindings set up so the stat is connected to the sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKC Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 FWIW, I think it might be simpler to have HomeKit push info into variables via Homekit automation and the bridge (shoutout to @Joshua Pressnell, it's pretty awesome) and then I get motion detection too. Might just punt on the native driver issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 no way to do it natively - Ecobee only exposes those values to homekit..not via their api Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 you only use the sensor drivers for true sensors, not for the stat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
