Thanks @watou. Yes, it would be great if you could update the ecobee-action PR. Best, Thomas E.-E.

I'm curious, is there a way to pull the currently running time on the Ecobee...so say the AC has been running constantly for 4 hours; is there a way to pull that data...i see alot of runtime strings, but not one that stands out. Thanks

Hi @milty456, I would look at the persistence extensions or rules in the wiki. Also, howto questions are better asked over on the Google group.

Just started seeing this in the openhab log; can anyone tell me what is going on here...what is that wacky token...has someone hacked in and replaced something; how can i fix this? Thanks

Hi @milty456 , I don't know for sure, but it would appear that the system on which openHAB is running, or a system upstream to it, has been compromised by some form of malware. Your DNS resolution is failing either due to a temporary situation, or as a result of malware. If I were you, I would quickly attempt to scan your systems for malware. Please feel free to continue discussion on the Google Group if you think there is a problem related to openHAB.

...adding, that the last line of your log may in fact be unrelated to the previous lines, and that your openHAB server is possibly directly accessible to the Internet, and someone is attempting to compromise it. I would carefully consider the security ramifications of making openHAB directly accessible to the Internet. Your openHAB server may not be infected, but it's worth reviewing to make sure.

So I'm trying to SEND a command to change the thermostat from Openhab. Any idea what I'm missing here? I have an item "EcoBeeSetTemp" and i use this:
sendCommand(EcoBeeSetTemp, 68)
Binding is ecobee and >[xxxxxxxxxx#runtime.desiredCool]

Thanks Log Below

If i change the binding to
Binding is ecobee and >[xxxxxxxxxx#settings.desiredCool]
the log states it's about to change it, but never does

Hi @milty456, in order to change the cooling setpoint, you have to set a hold, which is basically the code version of what is described here. The binding examples in the Ecobee-Binding wiki show runtime.desiredCool is an in-binding (as in, you can't tell Ecobee to change its value directly). I will give an example soon on the Google Group thread (but think about how the ecobeeSetHold action would be used). An example rule that uses an action is here.

Which file do i need and where do i get it; i expect a jar file as usual, but i don't see one. Sorry I'm not too saavy with this stuff...what do i need to do to add the new action bundle for the binding?

Thanks

Rich
