Adam Ant Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Hello, Is anyone having issues with making updates to Ecobee.. I am able to set the mode (off/heat/cool etc) but can not set the setpoint like below. The log on the ecobee node server shows it received the update just fine but the change never takes place on the ecobee controller. I am running on PG3x. ----- Use this to test Copy - [ID 0036][Parent 00E3] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Ecobee - Main Floor' Cool Setpoint 89°F Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
bk503 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 I use this NS to adjust the setpoint regularly with no issues. Check the configuration of the thermostat itself. Settings/Preferences, 89 may be outside the Cool Set Point Range. 1

I had used 89 for the last couple of years but it looks like it changed at some point. Even though my range still goes up to 89 on the thermostat, it now only seems to allow 80 as the max. Your suggestion got me looking in the right direction. Thanks! Do you by chance use indefinite hold? That quit working for me as well. In case anyone is wondering, i do this adjustment of a high temperature when doors or windows are left open. That way i am not trying to cool the outside.
Solution Adam Ant Posted October 10, 2023 Author Solution Posted October 10, 2023 @Jimbo.Automates had suggested the fix offline but took me a while to find it. I had another program that was fighting me that i was not seeing. Thanks 1

Good approach though.. got me reconsidering...

It doesn't have to be a part of the schedule. 1
