PM sent. If it's not currently possible to get the info automatically from the Yolink cloud, perhaps there could be an option to be able to input manually somewhere the remote name and button name for each corresponding digit. This would then show up as a list & sub-list in the Admin console/UDI Mobile app showing the remote name, button name, and the digit. I have no idea if it's possible, I am just throwing the idea out there. TIA.

I indeed did the learning from the app, I am fine with that. For now I setup 5 buttons in the app, for two seperate Mini Split A/C remotes. At the time that I wrote my OP, the only thing that worked was when I pressed “Send code 0”, it sent the first button that I had setup. Entering any other digit did nothing. Now I tried it again, and using codes 0 thru 4 does seem to work. Problem is that I don’t see a way of knowing which digit to use for which button. Would you be able to have the EISY show the name of the button? P.S. After writing the above, I figured out a workaround for now, that by checking the history log in the app right after sending a digit from the EISY, I can figure out which button that digit corresponds to. But that’s obviuosly not the best solution. If possible, it would be best to have the ISY import a list of the names of the remotes, with a sub-list of each of its buttons names, and be able to select it from the ISY to press that button. TIA.

Hi, First of all thank you very much for this plugin, its been incredibly useful. My question is, can you please give some instructions on how to use the plugin with the Smart IR Remote device? TIA

My question is if it can be disabled via an ISY program.

Thanks, this was very helpful. Do you know if you can disable/mute the built-in Alexa speaker on the Smart Thermostat Premium Plus via the ISY/Nodeserver?

I read up a bit the help section on Ecobee's website to become familiar with the way it works and how "comfort settings" work. So my question is, can you select & change from the ISY which comfort setting should be in effect now? Thanks

Thanks to everyone trying to help. I am including here a link to the Ecobee Nodeserver thread, where I posted the same question about the Ecobee thermostat, so we can keep the discussion in one place. Thanks. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/42308-ecobee-remote-sensor-capabilities/?do=findComment&comment=374547

Thanks to everyone trying to help. So let me clarify what I am trying to accomplish. My wife and I are hot people, and we like our bedroom colder than the average person. We have a wall unit A/C in our bedroom in addition to the central A/C. Sometimes in the fall & spring weather, we might sometimes still use our wall unit A/C, or later in the winter open the window, when others might have put on the heat already. Our thermostat is located in the master bedroom. So what I want to do is to put a remote sensor in one of the other bedrooms, and then be able to use a program to tell the thermostat that if the wall A/C in the master bedroom is on (using an Insteon On/off module), or if the window is open (monitored via a contact sensor) then use the sensor in the other room. Otherwise, use the thermostat’s own sensor. In the past I have had many times that the A/C was causing the heat to go on, thus causing the A/C to work even longer, and then they were fighting each other while the rest of the bedrooms were boiling away. Thanks again.

Thanks

Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed info.

Hi, Does this nodeserver use a local API or it goes thru the cloud? THanks.

Hi, I am looking into buying a new thermostat. The most important feature that I need, is to be able to control from the ISY using programs, when it should use the built-in sensor in the thermostat, and when to use the remote sensor. Does the Ecobee nodeserver support this? Thanks

Thanks. I have the heat thermostat in my bedroom. Sometimes in the winter I like to open the window in my room at night to get some crisp air in, which in turn causes the heat to shoot up. I would love to be able to put a sensor on my window, and have a setting that when the window is open, the thermostat should use a remote sensor located in a different room.

Question: With the Venstar, can you change the setting from the ISY if it should use a remote sensor or the thermostat sensor?

Thanks for the reply. Their product line looks very promising, but being dependent on their cloud is a deal breaker for me. No need to look further than what just happened with Smarthome.

Pardon my ignorance, does this node server work thru a local API, or thru a Yolink cloud service?

I have been having those issues for quite some time. I have read somewhere a while ago that this is an issue between Google & Verizon, each blaming the other. It's on my to do list to switch over to use outlook.com as the email provider for sending ISY text messages. I just never got around to do that.

Honestly I never understood why UDI has to provide their own email server for this. Which IP camera brand for example, lets you use their own email server? They require you to set up email notifications using your own email account. All this does is creating a liability & additional support headaches for UDI. IMHO, best thing for UDI would be to give like 6 months notice, and then shut it down. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks

Does this node server control it locally or thru the cloud?

Chrome on Android.

Long time Android MobiLinc Pro user here. Where can I see the pricing, without installing the app, for all the various options dicussed in this & the other thread? The website has no pricing info.

Thanks.
