Ecobee Binding

Ecobee Inc. of Toronto, Canada, sells a range of Wi-Fi enabled thermostats, principally in the Americas. The EMS, EMS Si, Smart, Smart Si and ecobee3 models are supported by this binding, which communicates with the Ecobee API over a secure, RESTful API to Ecobee's servers. Monitoring ambient temperature and humidity, changing HVAC mode, changing heat or cool setpoints, changing the backlight intensity, and even sending textual messages to one or a group of thermostats, can be accomplished through this binding.

Prerequisites

In order to use this binding, you must have already registered your thermostat(s) with Ecobee, registered a new app as a developer, and then login to your web portal.

Binding Configuration

This binding can be configured in the file services/ecobee.cfg.

Property	Default	Required	Description
appkey		Yes	You must generate your own appkey on the Ecobee developer dashboard (see Prerequisites)
scope		Yes	Typically, scope will be set to smartWrite, but if you have an EMS thermostat, set scope to ems.
refresh	180000	No	Data refresh interval in milliseconds
quickpoll	6000	No	Time in milliseconds to wait after successful update, command or action before refresh
timeout	20000	No	Time in milliseconds to allow an API request to complete
tempscale	F	No	temperature scale to use when sending or receiving temperatures. Can be C or F

Example ecobee.cfg

# the private API key issued be Ecobee to use the API (required, replace with your own)
#appkey=9T4huoUXlT5b5qNpEJvM5sqTMgaNCFoV

# the application scope used when authorizing the binding
# choices are smartWrite,smartRead, or ems, or multiple (required, comma-separated, no spaces)
#scope=smartWrite

# Rate at which to check if poll is to run, in ms (as of 1.8, optional, defaults to 5000)
#granularity=5000

# Data refresh interval in ms (optional, defaults to 180000)
#refresh=180000

# Time in ms to wait after successful update, command or action before refresh (as of 1.8, optional, defaults to 6000)
#quickpoll=6000

# Time in ms to allow an API request to complete (as of 1.8, optional, defaults to 20000)
#timeout=20000

# the temperature scale to use when sending or receiving temperatures
# optional, defaults to Fahrenheit (F)
#tempscale=C

Multiple Connections

You can set up multiple, distinct API connections by repeating the appkey and scope settings with a prepended "user ID" that indicates a separate ecobee.com account will be used to complete authorization.

condo.appkey=T5vMsUXlpEsqT4huoJb5qN9TMgaNCFoV
condo.scope=smartRead

You would then include condo. in item references (see below) for those thermostats available from the "condo" account.

Item Configuration

The syntax for the Ecobee binding configuration string is explained below.

Ecobee bindings start with a <, > or =, to indicate if the item receives values from the API (in binding), sends values to the API (out binding), or both (bidirectional binding), respectively.

The first character is then followed by a section between square brackets ([ and ] characters):

[<thermostat>#<property>]

Where <thermostat> is a decimal thermostat identifier for in (<), out (>) and bidirectional (=) bindings.

Where can I find my thermostat identifier? A thermostat identifier is a long, decimal number. For ecobee3 users, one way to find the number is to login to your Ecobee portal and read the URL you were taken to in the browser's address bar: https://www.ecobee.com/consumerportal/index.html#/thermostats/318973256526 The final component of the URL is your thermostat identifier. For non-ecobee3 users who are using the older web portal, you can go to the Home IQ™ tab and choose Download Data from the Report chart. The thermostat identifier can be found in the report.

For out (>) bindings only, <thermostat> can instead be selection criteria that specify which thermostats to change. You can use either a comma-separated list of thermostat identifiers (no spaces), or, for non-EMS thermostats only, a wildcard (the * character).

In the case of out bindings for EMS or Utility accounts, the <thermostat> criteria can be a path to a management set (for example, /Toronto/Campus/BuildingA). Please note that management set path elements that contain the . or # characters cannot be specified.

The <thermostat> specification can be optionally prepended with a specific "user ID" as specified in the binding configuration, as in condo.123456789 when you have specified condo.scope and condo.appkey binding configuration properties.

<property> is one of a long list of thermostat properties than you can read and optionally change. See the list below, and peruse this binding's JavaDoc for all specifics as to their meanings.

Property	In	Out	Type
name	X	X	StringType
runtime.actualTemperature	X		DecimalType
runtime.actualHumidity	X		DecimalType
settings.hvacMode	X	X	StringType

Please see a complete list below.

ecobee3 Remote Sensors

If you have an ecobee3 thermostat with remote, wireless temperature/occupancy sensors, the binding can read their values. Format:

ecobee="<[<thermostat_id>#remoteSensors(<sensor_name>).capability(<capability>).value]"

Supply the long, decimal thermostat ID as in other in-binding configurations. The binding configuration string uses the simple name you gave the remote sensor for <sensor_name>. The characters (,),[,], and . are not permitted in sensor names when used with the binding.

The ecobee3 sensors are known to report temperature or occupancy, and so you would specify either temperature or occupancy as the <capability> you wish to retrieve. temperature returns a DecimalType temperature in the binding's chosen temperature scale, and occupancy returns an OnOffType value as you would use in a switch or rule. If either value is unavailable for some reason, such as loss of connectivity, the binding returns an UnDefType.NULL value.

Note that occupancy is computed (by Ecobee, not the binding) to mean presence within the last 30 minutes, not current occupancy.

Number KitchenTemp "Kitchen temperature [%.1f °F]"   { ecobee="<[123456789#remoteSensors(Kitchen).capability(temperature).value]" }
Number BasementTemp "Basement temperature [%.1f °F]" { ecobee="<[123456789#remoteSensors(Basement).capability(temperature).value]" }
Switch BedroomOccu "Bedroom occupancy [%s]"          { ecobee="<[123456789#remoteSensors(Bedroom).capability(occupancy).value]" }

See the Example Binding Strings section below for more examples.

Authorization

After you have installed and configured the binding, added items to your .items file and started openHAB (if not previously started), when the binding performs its first poll, it will discover that is has not yet been authorized by the Ecobee servers, and will retrieve a four-character PIN from the Ecobee server. This PIN will appear prominently in your openhab.log file:

#########################################################################################
# Ecobee-Integration: U S E R   I N T E R A C T I O N   R E Q U I R E D !!
# 1. Login to www.ecobee.com using your 'DEFAULT_USER' account
# 2. Enter the PIN 'gxvg' in My Apps within the next 9 minutes.
# NOTE: Any API attempts will fail in the meantime.
#########################################################################################

When it does, enter it into your Apps settings in your account at ecobee.com. This will authorize your instance of the binding to work with your Ecobee account. On the next poll of the API, it will retrieve access and refresh tokens and continue.

Troubleshooting Authorization

Setting the binding's logger org.openhab.binding.ecobee to DEBUG or TRACE level will help you diagnose any issues.

If you happen to miss the time window to register your PIN, the ecobee.com website will still accept the PIN but openHAB will be unable to get authorization. If this happens the following may help:

• Stop the openHAB server
• Delete the Java Preferences storage where the tokens are kept.
  • On Linux, this is done by deleting the specific obfuscated directory name under ~/.java/.userPrefs. If you only have one garbled directory name there, you can just rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs (so as to not delete something else's storage).
  • On Windows, the Java Preferences are kept in the Windows Registry,
• Restart the openHAB server
• Register a new PIN like above

Example Item Configurations

Return or set the name of the thermostat whose ID is 123456789 using the default Ecobee app instance (configured in binding configuration):

ecobee="=[123456789#name]"

Return the current temperature read by the thermostat using the condo account at ecobee.com:

ecobee="<[condo.987654321#runtime.actualTemperature]"

Return or set the minimum number of minutes per hour the fan will run on thermostat ID 543212345:

ecobee="=[543212345#settings.fanMinOnTime]"

Change the HVAC mode to one of auto, auxHeatOnly, cool, heat, or off on all thermostats registered in the default app instance:

ecobee=">[*#settings.hvacMode]"

Changes the backlight sleep intensity on all thermostats at the lake house (meaning, all thermostats registered to the lakehouse Ecobee account):

ecobee=">[lakehouse.*#settings.backlightSleepIntensity]"

Determine if there was any occupancy in the condo's kitchen within the last 30 minutes:

ecobee="<[condo.987654321#remoteSensors(Kitchen).capability(occupancy).value]"

Basic configuration

The following items, sitemap and rules files show the actual temperature and humidity, the thermostat's current mode and scheduled comfort setting reference. You can set a hold for a defined comfort setting (like sleep, away, home, custom ones as well), or resume the scheduled program from all holds. If the thermostat is in "heat" or "cool" modes, a single temperature setpoint is given to adjust the desired temperature. If the thermostat is in "auto" mode, two temperature setpoints are given to adjust both the heat and cool setpoints.

The sitemap will also show sensor values for an ecobee3's remote sensors in the dining room, bedroom and living room.

Tracking last occupancy

The ecobee3 thermostat can connect to a number of wireless remote sensors that measure occupancy and temperature. The thermostat normally uses these to implement its "follow-me comfort" feature, where the thermostat is constantly adjusting its idea of the current ambient temperature based on an average of the temperatures of rooms that are currently occupied.

The binding can individually address each remote sensor's temperature and occupancy state. The occupancy state is ON when there has been motion within its range in the last 30 minutes. The rules below could be used to update a DateTime item to show the last time movement was sensed around any of the sensors in your home.

Items:

Switch EcobeeMBROccu "Ecobee MBR Occu [%s]" { ecobee="<[123456789012#remoteSensors(Bedroom).capability(occupancy).value]" }
Switch EcobeeKitchenOccu "Ecobee Kitchen Occu [%s]" { ecobee="<[123456789012#remoteSensors(Kitchen).capability(occupancy).value]" }
Switch EcobeeDROccu "Ecobee DR Occu [%s]" { ecobee="<[123456789012#remoteSensors(Dining Room).capability(occupancy).value]" }
DateTime LastOccuTime "Last Occu [%1$tm/%1$td %1$tH:%1$tM]"

Rules:

rule LastMotionON
when
    Item EcobeeMBROccu changed to ON or
    Item EcobeeKitchenOccu changed to ON or
    Item EcobeeDROccu changed to ON
then
    postUpdate(LastOccuTime, new DateTimeType())
end

rule LastMotionOFF
when
    Item EcobeeMBROccu changed to OFF or
    Item EcobeeKitchenOccu changed to OFF or
    Item EcobeeDROccu changed to OFF
then
    switch LastOccuTime.state {
      DateTimeType: {
        var DateTime halfHourAgo = now.minusMinutes(30)
        var DateTime lastKnownMotion = new DateTime((LastOccuTime.state as DateTimeType).calendar.timeInMillis)
        if (halfHourAgo.isAfter(lastKnownMotion)) {
          LastOccuTime.postUpdate(new DateTimeType(halfHourAgo.toString))
        }
      }
    }
end

Notes

1. Ecobee thermostats normally run based on a weekly schedule, but you can override the current program by setting a hold that controls the cool setpoint, the heat setpoint, and other options. You can set a hold from a rule by calling the action ecobeeSetHold. One of the parameters is a reference to a "climate" (also known as a comfort setting). The default references for climates are sleep, home, and away (some models also have wakeup).
