Delay when reading sensor from Ecobee thermostat

[mm876]

Hello,

I have a sensor reading the operation" status from my Ecobee3 thermostat. It seems the value is delayed a few minutes.

Ex: states.climate.home.attributes.operation is “idle”
I push the temperature up a few degrees.
heat kicks on within a few seconds
…still 'idle"
a few minutes later it changes to “heat”
heat turns off when desired temp reached
…value still reads “heat”
a few minutes later, value updates to “idle”

Any ideas?

Actually there’s another thread about this here;

Slow state updates from EcoBee

Does everyone else notice very slow updates from Ecobee via climate. I have a sensor created which is based off the “fan on” attribute. The problem is this is up to 5 minutes late updating - both on fan start and stop. You physically hear and feel the fan running but yet the climate doesn’t detect it for several minutes, and the same on shut down. I realize Climate is reading the data from Ecobee over the internet via their cloud API. The question is why is it so slow? This makes it tough …

can you post your info to that thread so we can close this one and consolidate everything? We are trying to gather some info top see if we need to post an issue to Github.

Thanks!
