I am two weeks with the ecobee thermostat which I integrate with HA via the HomeKit Device integration. It replaced a Nest learning thermostat which I loved dearly before Google wants me to migrate from the Nest system to the Google cloud. And on top of that, (I believe) HA integration of the Nest thermostat needs Google cloud which I don’t like. Anyway, I’m happy with the ecobee integration in HA. Now, I utilize the motion detection attribute of the ecobee in HA to automatically turn on a smart switches in the kitchen and living room at night to turn on lights. However, I miss the granular scheduling of the Nest thermostat. Maybe there is a way to mimic that granularity in the ecobee using HA automation - I have to research on this.
I’m new to HA & have the Ecobee Smart Enhanced thermostat and several of the occupancy/temp sensors. I haven’t been able to get Ecobee to show up in HAOS, nor do I have an Ecobee developer API code.
Homekit device integration keep pulling everything except the ecobee… even devices that are already setup in HA. Out of desperation, I now have a cluttered mess of added repeat homekit devices plus several Homekit bridges. (I’ve disabled them all since I can’t seem to delete any of it…?)
I have been searching for weeks and haven’t had any luck finding a solution that works. Could you go over the steps as to how you were able to get your Ecobee into HA?
It’s been a while that I have successfully managed to add my ecobee to HA. Did you add your ecobee in Apple HomeKit? I think I added it as a HomeKit Device in HA. If I remember it right I needed to get a pairing code displayed on the ecobee display and enter it in HA. Sorry it’s been a while. I think you have to remove it from your Apple HomeKit app add it through HA then push it through HomeKit Bridge.
Today, I don’t even use HomeKit to manage my ecobee. I created Automation in HA to control trmperature settings multiple times daily.
I don’t have an Apple device; Ecobee was never in Apple Homekit.
When I tried to use Homekit thru HA, it couldn’t see/pull Ecobee in. I found another post today about having to open a port in order for this to work (due to mDNS). I’m going to see if that will work.
