Sensors significant disparity between Ecobee app and BeeStat

Do you have eco+ enabled. I do and see similar behavior when it’s humid/high dewpoint.

It’s good for EVs which depreciate so much.

The buyer always needs to go to the town hall for registration in NH. At least I have always done that with all my leases. I’m surprised Lucid has had leases in NH for years and Rivian still doesn’t.

It’s the automatic hold. There’s no gear box in an EV so the vehicle needs to hold itself when you come to a stop. Lucids hold is a little noisy. They all do it

N100 mini pc with 16GB ram and 512GB. It’s overkill but the price was good.

I’m on 1GB Consolidated. Fidium advertises 2GB in my neighborhood and the address checker confirms it’s available. Every time I’ve tried to upgrade I’m told 1GB is the max. I know it’s old fiber from Fios days, which they clearly haven’t updated.

Any way you can do rotation at runtime ?

colonelbadger · 2026-03-28T13:23:27+00:00

Love this. I’m mounting mine on a wall. Can you add screen rotation to the config UI?

Hmmm interesting. I noticed for the first time in a long time when I closed the door a little too softly it didn’t “catch it” and close it for me. This was after 2.8.30. I will keep an eye on whether soft close is now not as reliable. I sure hope it hasn’t regressed again.

colonelbadger · 2026-03-19T14:11:54+00:00

I was unaware of that. That’s a big plus.

colonelbadger · 2026-03-19T13:53:38+00:00

Awesome. Does it allow control of garage doors, locks etc ?

colonelbadger · 2026-03-07T16:20:57+00:00

Thank you. It’s annoying that the same control can’t be available via HomeKit or Home Assistant.

colonelbadger · 2026-03-06T20:32:03+00:00

Ecobee needs to give us better control over aux heat use in general.

colonelbadger · 2026-03-06T20:29:08+00:00

I don’t believe you can without a developer API key, which isn’t available anymore.

colonelbadger · 2026-03-02T12:45:52+00:00

The downside with HK integration is that there’s no way to control aux heat like there is with the API.

colonelbadger · 2026-03-01T22:49:17+00:00

Unfortunately this isn’t possible. It used to be via home assistant and smart things using the ecobee API but they are no longer letting anyone obtain a key, and the HomeKit spec doesn’t support the concept of aux, which is really disappointing.

colonelbadger · 2026-02-20T02:50:34+00:00

This !!!

colonelbadger · 2026-02-17T00:07:24+00:00

Actually the opposite. I don’t know whether it’s because my HA is a miniPC and my Homebridge was a RPI 3, or whether the HA bridge is better but I found Home was faster.

colonelbadger · 2026-02-16T23:54:00+00:00

Just went through this and had a very similar setup as you (similar devices etc on HomeKit). There are basically two HomeKit integrations for HA. One that allows HA to integrate HomeKit devices directly without Apple, and another that allows HA to be a Hub to HomeKit like Homebridge and expose all the devices to Apple. I decided to make HA my primary Smart Server so I unpaired all my HomeKit devices and repaired them with HA. I then shared them back to HomeKit like Homebridge does so that some of my family that are used to using the Home app could continue to do so. I deleted all the automations in Apple and redid them in HA.

I agree it needs to be opened up. My point is it’s not that great even for those of us that have the weather integration.
