Hi,

I recently learned that ecobee has disabled access to its API, and I have been reading about using the HomeKit plugin as a new workaround. I understand that the HomeKit method provides some support for Ecobee Comfort Settings, but I have a specific question about what that support includes.

I realize that the primary purpose of Comfort Settings is to control temperature setpoints. However, ecobee also allows each Comfort Setting to specify which remote sensors participate. That participating-sensor functionality is the main reason I use Comfort Settings.

My goal has been to use my eisy to control which ecobee remote sensors are taken into account at any given time. Since there was no direct way to enable or disable individual participating sensors from the EISY, I created several Comfort Settings, each with a different combination of included and excluded remote sensors. I could then use the eisy to select the appropriate Comfort Setting, which indirectly determined which sensors ecobee used.

With the new HomeKit plugin, can I still use the eisy to switch among my existing ecobee Comfort Settings and have ecobee apply the participating-sensor configuration assigned to each setting?

In other words, I am not asking only whether the HomeKit plugin supports the setpoints associated with Comfort Settings. I specifically need to know whether switching Comfort Settings through the plugin will also switch which remote sensors participate.

Has anyone tested this particular functionality?

Thanks

Hi @Jimbo.Automates

Can you please shed some light on the above?

Sorry I am not sure, but I would assume so. But the handling of comfort settings with the HomeKit method is not as nice as the original API, but nothing I can do about that.
