Honeywell Thermostat not working

Configuration

I am trying to add my Honeywell thermostat and I get the following error:
16-08-13 18:01:04 homeassistant.config: Incomplete core config. Auto detected elevation: 223
16-08-13 18:02:01 homeassistant.components.thermostat: Error while setting up platform honeywell

The model I have is this:
RTH6580WF

Likewise, I am also not able to log in to Honeywell. What am I doing wrong?

thermostat:
platform: honeywell
username: [email protected]
password: xxx
region: ‘us’

Resulting in:

Turned mine off Auto and they began to work. Only problem I have now, Homebridge-homeassistant won’t use them! Damn.

I reported the issue with auto mode here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/2794

FYI the somecomfort basis for Honeywell.py does not have Auto function built in. Unless somecomfort 0.3.1 gets updated with this, we will never have Auto support.

Hello. Are people having success with the Honeywell RTH6580WF and HASS, assuming the thermostat isn’t in AUTO mode? I’m considering purchasing one, as the price is right. My use case is simple. I want to drive the thermostat based on the output of multiple HASS based temperature sensors. I intend to do all the logic within HASS (not using any of the thermostat’s native logic).

The RTH6580WF is $79.75 on Amazon. I’ll spend more if this is a dead end street. Open to all thoughts and alternatives. Thanks.

I am having success. Just posted a write-up about it here:
