First get the thermostat identifier for your thermostat.
Where can I find my thermostat identifier? A thermostat identifier is a long, decimal number. For ecobee3 users, one way to find the number is to login to your Ecobee portal and read the URL you were taken to in the browser’s address bar: https://www.ecobee.com/consumerportal/index.html#/thermostats/318973256526 The final component of the URL is your thermostat identifier.
Create a file, call it ecobee.items, in the items directory. Start off with something fairly simple, like this. Replace the 123456789012 with the identifier of your thermostat. Then save the file.
DateTime lastModified "last mod [%1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tS]" { ecobee="<[123456789012#lastModified]" }
Number actualTemperature "actual temp [%.1f °F]" { ecobee="<[123456789012#runtime.actualTemperature]" }
Number actualHumidity "actual hum [%d %%]" { ecobee="<[123456789012#runtime.actualHumidity]" }
Number desiredHeat "desired heat [%.1f °F]" { ecobee="<[123456789012#runtime.desiredHeat]" }
Number desiredCool "desired cool [%.1f °F]" { ecobee="<[123456789012#runtime.desiredCool]" }
Now look in openhab.log for the authorization information.
If this doesn’t work, the next thing would be to restart openHAB.
You’re on windows, right. Any Windows text editor will do, even Notepad. I use Notepad++. Make sure the file is in the items directory, and ends with the .items extension.
