Ecobee control assist

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Thermostat keeps changing to auto

2) What is the expected behavior?
If door sensor 1 or/and door sensor 2 are open longer than x minutes then turn thermostat off. when they are then closed after that time then set thermostat mode to auto.

3) What is happening/not happening?
When changing to mode to heat/cool, then opening/closing the door for a second, it changes the mode to auto. How would I make it only set the mode to auto if the doors sensor were open longer than x minutes?
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]

You could check if the thermostat is off before switching to auto when the door is closed. As long as nothing else turns the thermostat off, that should stop it from going to auto for short open/close.

#3

Seems to me you could just have two if statements.
IF any stay open for 5 turn off
and another
IF all stay closed for 1(?) set to auto.

#4

Might be the simple solution I was looking for, will be trying it out to make sure it behaves like i need it to. Forgot i could check the current thermostat mode under restrictions

You may also want to take a look into the Ecobee Suite Manager smart app for ST. Once installed, it has tons of helper features that can be configured for what you are tying to accomplish.
