Module for Magic Mirror that supports ecobee Thermostat

MMM-Ecobee

Module for MagicMirror² that supports ecobee thermostats.

Dependencies

• An installation of MagicMirror²

Installation

1. Clone this repo into MagicMirror/modules directory.
2. Configure your MagicMirror/config/config.js:

{
  module: 'MMM-Ecobee',
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
  }
}

Ensure that the user running MagicMirror has write access to the module's directory so that the module can save the authentication token. If you are unable to do this for any reason, you can instead create a tokens.json file in the module's directory yourself and chown it to the user who is running MagicMirror.

Authorizing the module on your ecobee account

To authorize this application to access your Ecobee:

1. Go to https://auth.ecobee.com/u/login
2. Log in to your thermostat console
3. Select My Apps from the menu on the top right.
4. Click Add Application
5. Enter the code provided.

Codes refresh every ~10mins. The module will check for the completed authorization every 30sec.

If a code is not used for a long time (Magic Mirror is off, module is turned off, etc.) a new authorization may be required.

See the Installation section above for notes about how authorization is stored and how to fix it if it doesn't seem to remember the authorization token.

Config Options

Option	Default	Description
updateInterval	5 * 60 * 1000	How often to update the thermostat's data, in milliseconds. Defaults to 5 minutes. This cannot be less than 3 minutes, per ecobee.
