Temperature/humidity on Magic Mirror

You might want to have a look at https://tinyurl.com/WiFi-Temp-7-Humidity-Sensor. I have one on order so will have to wait and see if it does as advertised.

@Egnos the internal and room sensors are connected, yes. However, the outdoor sensors is actually not connected to anything. Solar powered, wireless to it’s controller, which then is connected to my network and uploaded to a website to create the panel.

no, it’s vendors protecting their data, regardless of what the users want…
I have ecobee, w motion sensors… why should I need another motion sensor?

Motion sensor?!
Is the HUB done by the thermostat for all Ecobee sensors?
Which module do you use for Ecobee?

The link takes me to the “home” of AliExpress, could you put the correct link?
How do you think to share the info of this sensor with MM?

So they can be physically not connected to the RPI.
Could you tell me the type of sensor and how it connects (power supply, WiFi, etc …)?
How do you bring the information of these external sensors on the local network and then in the browser?

Thank you all for valuable information! :folded_hands:

@Egnos all ecobee have motion detection in their thermostat and room sensors. that’s how they know the room is occupied… and could be used in temp averaging.

Ah ok!
Does the HUB for these sensors do the thermostat?
What module do you use?

Thanks

@sdetweil : Sam, it sounds like you are integrating your Ecobee with your MagicMirror - true? If so, can you tell us how you get the data out of the Ecobee? I looked at it some time ago, and it appeared Ecobee uses [used?] a wireless band separate from basic WiFi, and I saw no way to tap into the information stream. I would be tempted to take another look at integrating data from the Ecobee into MagicMirror if feasible.

@JohnGalt I have not integrated my ecobee to my MagicMirror

but it looks like there is an API
https://www.notion.so/API-Documentation-e4a7746e6a3f45dbb58ea6b45b8f9744

and one can get charts now
https://beestat.io/

I believe the section at sensor details shows the ‘occupancy’ … this is like a week of detail from my house.
in the live version there is floating info as the cursor passes over data

@sdetweil Thanks, Sam. I may take a look at that Ecobee API and/or the charting. The Ecobee is currently not in use in my new house, but this may give me the added incentive to get going on that. Thanks again.
