New room sensors are not added/detected #39

I recently added a few room sensors to my Ecobee, but they have not appeared in the Vera. I have tried reauthorizing the plugin, but that has not changed anything.

Thanks

I've not heard of that situation before, but it's possible that users on the MiCasaVerde forum might be able to give you advice for things to try. Each remote sensor should give you temperature and "motion" devices when other devices are discovered. If you find a likely bug in the code, please add that information here.

I looked at the forum, didn't find anything relevant. I imagine most users don't mess w/ their Ecobee setup enough for it to have surfaced.

Is there a way to trigger discovery or any logs I could look at?

watou commented 6 years ago

Have a look at the code here to see how the list of devices is kept up to date. It is checked on every poll. There might be a corner case where deleting one of your existing sensor devices would trigger a full discovery of remote sensors on the next poll (search in the code for syncDevices), but since I've not run this code myself in years and I no longer have access to a compatible thermostat, that's only a guess. If you ask a clear question of the other plugin users on the forum, they might have some other suggestions.

Added a new Smart Sensor 2 and automatically the Motion Detect and Temperature devices were created. My setup is a single thermostat with 3 Smart Sensor 2 devices. However, looks like the humidity devices were not added to Vera. Looking at the original Smart Senor 2, there was a humidity device created but it appears to always be set to 'idle' and have the same reading as the actual thermostat. So not sure if these devices can even monitor humidity - I have put in a support case with Ecobee.

@rafale77 have you heard about this issue with remote sensors? I am not in a position to pursue any possible solutions. Hope it gets sorted @polskikrol!

Posted on the Vera Community board as well: https://community.getvera.com/t/ecobee-smart-sensor-2-humidity/211609. Will update this post with info from Ecobee once I receive it.
