Just setup homeassistant on a Gen2 Raspberry that I had sitting around from another project. In just a few short hours I was able to get many devices recognized and into cards in the WebUI. My question is about the ecobee thermostats. I have two thermostats and all the sensors show up in the WebUI:
The problem is that the temp graph shows the same thing for both thermostats.
When I updated the configuration.yaml, I added just one ecobee although I had derived a key for both on the ecobee site. After restarting my RaspberryPI, it showed all the sensor for both thermostats and two temp graphs. It would be one thing if the temps were truly exactly the same, but as you can see in the pic, they are indeed different.
But it is only showing the one thermostat and showing the one for the family room as just a sensor. I am guessing I have to tweak something so it see the family room sensor as thermostat?
That looks to be the forecast graph, which makes sense they should match between the 2 thermostats installed in the same building. If you hover over the line, you should see the date and the hit-low forecast temps. These will have a entity id of weather.xxx.
Thanks Mike. Now that makes sense. I guess there is no point in having two graphs showing the same thing. Let me see if I can figure out how to remove one and change the name of the other.
You’ll probably want to start by getting familiar with groups and views in HA. This way you can control what and where you see devices in HA. By default, everything is thrown into the default_view, and it gets rather messy the more you add (especially the sensors!).
For changing the names, you can use the customize section to change the friendly name of an entity.
