Checking the icon of the thermostat - what are the options here? mine says ON, but the system is in idle (neither heating nor cooling). Is that what you meant? I have noticed the motion icon - I like that!
If you could toggle the displayed info, wouldn’t all the icons shift over to the right, if there was less on the line?
Elaboration, I think these would be the options, to be honest, I think it would just be System Heat Mode and System Cool Mode that I would be intereted in, I don’t have the capabilities for the other icons. I know a number of modules that I have allow for the toggle of colour on / off:

Right now it will show if the Thermostat is set to a mode (ON) or off (OFF)
First image is OFF, Second is set to AUTO (69-64):
That being said, to show when it’s ACTUALLY running I need to figure what is the best way. (if that is important)

Not the way the I have the code running right now :(

So you want to see the colors in the module? or see them when the machine is running only?
Thanks for the feedback. I can’t way to go back to work on it :)

OK, what would be “important” to me, would be to show what the system is doing:
So if the AC is running, then a Blue Snowflake, if the Heating is running, an Orange Flame, it would just need to be one of them, not both, as per the app example. If nothing is actually running, then white would be fine.
For example:
Heating:
Cooling:

@stephenmelody GOT it! I will add to the module! Let me know if you have other changes you want and how the module is working for you!
-
let’s start with that and Celsius. Let me know when it’s ready and I’ll test it for you!
Thanks, this module is going to be great!!

Installed module last night … Great work! and Thank you again for creating this module!
While installing I now understand why the CODE from ecobee module may have been missed by others.
I was expecting to see the code and still took a minute or second look to see the code at the very bottom of the last sentence in the instructions on screen. If this CODE could maybe be larger or maybe a color that stands out?? Might help a little .I too would like to choose which sensors are shown…or show them in a specific order.
One more thing that I would love would be making the module smaller.
I am still learning all of this and I played with Custom.css but of course the module will start to cut the wording and sensors off from visually being seen from the bottom up.I will play more with it tonight… but this is awesome already! Thank you!

@fabbr any updates?
I’ve had the module running for a while now, but I’ve been away. When I got back, it had forgotten the ecobee module was authorised so I had to do that again.
-
@stephenmelody The way ecobee API works is: if you don’t check the status for a period of time it will make you reauthorize. Let’s say: You turn your mirror off for a couple of days, when you turn on you most likely will have to reauthorize. I don’t see a way around that :(
And I will be working on the changes this week and post a branch for the new code here for us to test.
Thanks :)
-
OK, it wasn’t a complaint, just some feedback in case it helps. I have my mirror set up so that only the screen turns off when no one is home, but the pi keeps on trucking in the background. I’d have to look and see what happened, but I got it reauthorised and I’ll see if it does it again.
Looking forward to new code!!!
-
@stephenmelody hahah I took it as feedback :) I need a lot of it to make this as usable as possible. keep them coming
-
The module is working fine. Thanks! Is there any way to change the output temperature to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit?
-
first off thanks I really enjoy the module!! great work! I do not have any colors on my dashboard at all and reading the thread I see that when my furnace is running the flame should be red?
-
@fabbr Thank you for the Ecobee Module.
I really like it and it has been working fine for me… however i am running pm2 and watchdog and for some reason the mirror is restarting quite often and every time it wants to reauthorize with Ecobee api why is that and how can i minimize it… it happens like 5 times a day or more …annoying kinda thing.
Any thoughts??

Any thoughts on the above issue??

This is awesome @fabbr , many thanks!
Any word on doing a colored: true option? I’m just starting down the road of MM, so I may peak into the code to see if it’s something I can tackle.

I just got started with Magic Mirror and found this module. It’s awesome! I was so happy to find it. My fear is that you’ve stopped working on it. I’m really hoping you for the celsius conversion… Though you’d think that Celsius would be the default from the Ecobee API. Ecobee is a Canadian company!
-
I fear it has been a while too for this module…
The module is working great!But is there a way to only show the thermostat and not the sensors?
-
@LordBane Good day all, really love this module great work. i just found this and noticed that it was in fahrenheit but as a canadian i would like it to be in celsius. so i look at the code and found the lines that need updating for it to display in celsius.
to do this you will need to edit the file MMM-Ecobee.js (Location = MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Ecobee/)
update line 58 to be “var desiredHeat = Math.round(((thermo.runtime.desiredHeat / 10)-32)*5/9);”
update line 59 to be “var desiredCool = Math.round(((thermo.runtime.desiredCool / 10)-32)*5/9);”
update line 106 to be “currentTemp.innerHTML = Math.round(((device.capability[0].value / 10)-32)*5/9);”
once that is done refresh the Mirror and the number will be updated.Please let me know if this cause any problems for anyone.
Thank you

Hello all,
I am maintaining a fork of this module that works with the new API changes coming from Ecobee very soon as well as showing the temperatures in Celsius if your thermostat is set to celsius. I also fixed the module sometimes being far too aggressive on hitting the Ecobee api, re-requesting authorization, etc. I have a few other things I’m adding soon such as a config property for showing sensors or not as well as an option to display colors for those of us using this on a monitor without a mirror in front.
Any and all feedback is appreciated! https://github.com/parnic/MMM-Ecobee

Thank you for the updates to keep the module working with the new api changes! I am wondering though, is there anyway you could add the ability to hide the humidity and the set temperature in the thermostat readout? I would like to just have the actual thermostat display the current temp like the sensors do. On the original module I just commented out certain lines to make them disappear but the new code doesn’t look the same. Thanks again.
