Tried this, unfortunately without success (i.e. I keep getting PIN ‘null’). But these two lines from the log may point to the problem:
19:15:47.158 [TRACE] [inding.ecobee.internal.EcobeeBinding] - Request: AuthorizeRequest[appKey=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHI,scope=smartWrite]
19:15:48.056 [TRACE] [inding.ecobee.internal.EcobeeBinding] - Response: AuthorizeResponse[error=invalid_client,errorDescription=Authentication error, invalid authentication method, lack of credentials, etc.,errorURI=https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-5.2,ecobeePin=<null>,authToken=<null>,scope=<null>,expiresIn=<null>,interval=<null>]
Apparently the ecobee (portal?) is not happy with the appKey. I’ve also tried 9T4huoUXlT5b5qNpEJvM5sqTMgaNCFoV - same result. Curiously, if I comment out the appkey, the binding still uses ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHI for authentication, so perhaps that’s a default “baked” into the binding. At any rate, I always get PIN ‘null’.
If I understand correctly, these keys are just “stand-ins” for the actual key, which I will get using the “elusive” 4 digit pin. So the error kind of makes sense: I am specifying a bogus appkey just to get the pin.
How did you and others get over this hurdle?
Below are my full configuration and the complete log.
