Expose the AUX ?
Just wondering if you can expose the AUX setting for the Ecobee? I would like to be able to have a trigger to AUX function when I have a power outage and not use my heat pump. HomeKit does not show it.
Guess you would need to expose the HEAT, COOL, and AUTO as well even though HomeKit does.
Hello,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by AUX setting for the ecobee. But I probably won't be able to get to it anytime soon. This is a hobby projects that I work on in my personal time.
So if you really need the feature, try to work on it yourself, I'll be happy to merge a PR.
In the Ecobee you can switch your system to heat, cool, auto and AUX. Aux is the backup heat source ( electric or gas) if you have a heat pump. Switches on if it goes below 36 or so degrees Fahrenheit.
Ecobee does not present this function in the HomeKit, and does not plan too.
I would like to switch to gas heat when there is a power outage and not use the heat pump. My house has a battery back up but running the gas heat is less drain on batteries.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Steve

Okay. That's really nice. Like I said have fun working on it yourself. I personally don't need, so it's very unlikely I'll spend time on it.
