rayg Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Has anyone looked into creating an interface to this popular wifi thermostat? http://www.emersonclimate.com/en-us/products/thermostats/sensi/pages/sensi-wifi-thermostat.aspx Its very affordable and has a nice APP to go with it but integration with ISY would be grand Thanks ...Ray
Michel Kohanim Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Hi Ray, We are currently working on Honeywell WiFi thermostats. Once that's done, we'll take a look. With kind regards, Michel
Harvvm Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I have one also and recently received an email saying Sensi is now supported by Echo.
JCDinPGH Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I second this. It would be great to control/monitor my Sensi thermostat from my ISY. Unfortunately the echo integration is very minimal. One thing they left out what the ability to query the thermostat from the echo, like "Alexa, ask thermostat what is the current temperature?"
carealtor Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 Just curious if any progress had been made on this. I'm looking at the Sensi thermostat because I'm looking at the Ecovent system. Ecovent is most closely integrated with Sensi, tho' they say other integrations are coming.
rayg Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Yes I would also like to know if you plan on adding this functionality. This is a very popular thermostat too but the lack of ISY integration especially queries for Temprature and humidity is a limitation for me.
rayg Posted December 28, 2020 Author Posted December 28, 2020 4 Years seems like a long enough wait for a reply from UDI. Any idea if this can/will be added? Thanks

Thanks Does it have an open api? If there's an open api, you may be better off asking in the nodeservers forum along with a link to the API in hopes that a developer is willing to do something Edited December 29, 2020 by lilyoyo1

rayg Posted December 29, 2020 Author Posted December 29, 2020 Thanks for the suggestion about the nodeServer forum. I gather there is an API because of what I've seen in terms of integration with SmartThings and the code projects on GitHub containing Java and Ruby implementations. One guy referred to the API as now being a paid one which may actually stand a better chance of being supported longer term. But I think you are correct that we need this request to come from higher up and not just the hobbyistes.

Unfortunately, the fact its working with Smartthings doesn't say much as they could've released their own device handler for it vs a 3rd party person doing it. If it's a paid API, I have a hard time seeing UDI footing the bill.... especially if it's reoccurring for a small segment of their users to gain access. Not when there are other options which do not require payment such as ecobee, honeywell, zwave, and Nest (potentially) thermostats.

I was suggesting that they may charge end users - who want the added functionality - a fee to access the service via API (As UDI charges for access to its own Networking module) via assigned credentials / tokens / oAuth but I am no expert in this. As would be the case for certain Weather services I have used recently. Edited December 29, 2020 by rayg
