August 6, 20187 yr I want to be able to access the temps from the remote sensors for Ecobee to use them as a variable in a program. I am able to access and see the main Ecobee thermostat in the Admin console and I see the temps for the remote sensors being displayed in NodeLink, just can't figure out how to access the remote sensors in ISY. What I want to do should be fairly straight forward. If sensor temp >= 78 degrees, then turn on ceiling fan. My experience level: I just got my first ISY device ever about 2 days ago. I migrated off of HCA. Got everything that was working on HCA over and working on ISY. Now I want to dig into the cool stuff. I can make the fan turn on in a program using the main Ecobee thermostat temp, but I really want to use the sensor located in the room that the fan is in. Any thoughts?
August 6, 20187 yr Hi and welcome to the UDI forums! You should see the ecobee as a device displayed in the ISY device tree with subnodes. Initially they should show at the top. The remote sensor should be a value you can access directly with an ISY program. You can use the Variable operand in programs and assign the sensor value to a variable. Can you past a snippet of your ISY device tree (main) with everything expanded back here in a response? Paul
August 6, 20187 yr Author Thanks Paulbates and io_guy for the responses. io_guy had the right idea. I thought that "Enable Sensor ISY Nodes" was referring to Insteon type sensors, so I didn't check that off. As soon as I did the data became available. Thanks again!
