Visibility to Ecobee Data

I'm making progress on my scripts, and I'm able to pull in a variety of dev states ( hvacMode, equipmentStatus, hvacCoolerIsOn, hvacHeaterIsOn, setpointHeat, setpointCol ).

I have two questions.

1) whats the key to the dev.state for current temperature(s).

2) what would be the proper syntax if I wanted to set a dev.state in my script. hvacMode and setpoints for example.

All help greatly appreciated!

How would I et a look at any f these device state values in a python script ?

Code: Select all

# get the device
dev = indigo.devices[23989834]  # Some custom device
# access the state through the states property, use the key
# that's displayed in the Custom States tile on the main window
# when you have a custom device selected
print dev.states["someDeviceStateKey"]

# show all the device states (use unicode() to print special chars correctly):
print unicode(dev.states)


Except, you can't use the label in the popup shown a couple posts up. You need the name from the list, or right click on the name in the list and get the python reference.

You can't set a state directly. You have to use one of the Indigo device commands from the link above (right after the states list).

Thanks for that link. That should keep me busy for a while.

Any idea why my attempts to change a set point by one degree are failing? My thermostat is set to Celsius, and when I use an indigo action to increment that setpoint it initially appears to work (adding 1 to the setpoint value) then immediately dropping that setpoint by about .6 degrees.

Ecobee is Fahrenheit natively (more or less) so you're going to have conversion round-off issues.
