Ventilation Control?

[nrus2222]

I have fresh air vent damper control connected across ACC switched output of Ecobee 4 (instead of humidifier/dehumidifier). It’s configured on ecobee, and shows when it’s running in ecobee app, as well as allowing manual running of ventilator and setting of minimum ventilator on time.

I don’t see any support for this ventilator option in your suite. Am I missing something, or is this option not yet supported?

Hmmm. You are the first one to mention that. I will look into reporting when it is on - I’m not sure I can do anything to control it.

Give me a few days...

Thanks! Barry

Thanks, Barry. I’m just a newb to this, but I’m really impressed with all the functionality that you’ve built into this already. Please let me know if any information I can help with.

I was hoping to find a way to access this control (available in ecobee’s app, under quick changes tab, screenshot below), in order to activate ventilation using WebCoRE or something whenever one of my exhaust fans is on (rangehood, bathrooms, laundry room).

OK, so adding support for Ventilators/ERV/HRV is non-trivial. Not impossible, but it requires some significant coding on my part. It will take some time for me to figure out the changes required and implement them.

I may add the commands/status first and make them available via the API, then go back and add the visible integration to the GUI. If so, I'll let you know...

Thanks, Barry. That would be great. Really appreciate all your efforts.

I am on the same boat. I have an ecobee 4 and have an HRV I would love to be able to control it (for instance turn HRV when bathroom fan is on) Thanks for the great work

[SANdood]

I haven't made much progress on this as an integrated solution.

BUT!!! My new Universal Ecobee Suite introduces the setEcobeeSettings() command, perhaps you can use that to control your ventilator directly using WebCoRE?

When would you be releasing 1.7 ? I am still getting familiar with 1.6 (installed on Wednesday) so want to soak it a little before joining a beta

[SANdood]

1.7 will probably be released over the weekend, unless I find some crazy bug. I still have the documentation to update, however.

The UI is the same in 1.6 and 1.7 - all the changes are under the covers.

Ok, I have 1.7 and is up and running As far as original post, alternative cooling using HRV when outside temp is lower than inside (ecobee4) I have done only a couple of very simple webcore scripts (turn on bathroom fan when humidity is higher than house). This was modifying a script I found elsewhere. I have a couple of couple of problems with this alternative cooling script. I dont know the logic (other than basic outside air is cooler than inside air -> start). Also I am bit intimidated on using the setecobeesettings() command for this purpose. (I am not a programmer) Hoping I can across some inspiration or maybe another person with same need can start and I can help testing.

You will probably have more luck finding inspiration by following the Ecobee Suite thread on the SmartThings Community...
