Posted August 1Aug 1 Hi @Jimbo.Automates, I have been using your ecobee plugin for little over a month now. Thank you for developing it! Question I have is that it appears longPoll is when it queries the ecobee server for updates. Is 180 seconds set in stone or can we, say, drop it to 60 seconds without issue? Does shortPoll have any function? Also I noticed that initiating a query from the plugin does not update the node values, is it supposed to? Last question, I have not been able to figure out if there is any type heartbeat that I can use to monitor connection of the tstat thru the plug in that changes state every minute or couple of minutes? Thanks again! -Tim

You may lock yourself out and require ecobee support to re-enable your account access.
