Fan On/Off Python Commands

Post by jenwill1 »

I'm writing a python script to open/close the fresh air damper to my HVAC when the weather is right to keep out humid or cold or hot air out of the house.

Anyone know the state and/or the Python command to turn on/off the fan on a Ecobee ?

I think I need to change the fan mode state hvacFanModeIsAlwaysOn : false (bool) to true and set the fan mode state hvacFanModeIsAuto to true to turn it off.

Have not updated a state using python, just use the values for scripts.

Thanks !

You can't change the state directly. The plugin maintains that value. You need to send a command to the device that changes the setting.
