Add support for EcoBee premium thermostat model "aresSmart" #39

Closed gitBrave-hub closed 2 years ago

gitBrave-hub commented 2 years ago

Ecobee has a new thermostat with air quality sensor. It would be great if homebridge-ecobee3-sensors supported the new model . Thanks

vojtamolda commented 2 years ago

That would indeed be nice. However, I'm not sure what would be the benefit since this model supports HomeKit natively and also exposes all of the sensors there.

Though, feel free to make a PR, @gitBrave-hub I'll be happy to merge it.

gitBrave-hub commented 2 years ago

To be sure, it does not expose all of the sensors, that is why I use this. It does not natively expose the humidity sensor on the thermostat. And the temperature on the thermostat is indirectly exposed. And now, Ecobee does not expose the VOC and CO2 sensor data. I am unfamiliar with this coding environment, perhaps I will try locally and if I have success, I will make a PR. Thanks

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

I have created a PR to add support for the new thermostat. It does not add support for any of the new sensors. https://github.com/vojtamolda/homebridge-ecobee3-sensors/pull/40

The patch is available since version 0.1.9 on NPM.
