I just installed 2 Ecobee thermostats. Your binding was a snap to set up in OH2. It’s working very nicely. Thanks for the great work on that binding.

I was wondering if there’s any downside to being a bit more aggressive on the granularity and quickpoll properties. Currently, as you point out in the documentation, a quickpoll will occur between 6 and 11 seconds of a successful command. I’m thinking of lowering the granularity and quickpoll a bit in order to force the UI to update more quickly after making a change. Something like granularity=2000 and quickpoll=3000. Before making the change, I thought I’d check to see if there’s any practical downside to doing that.

Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind. I just found this post from a while back.

Ecobee: update values when a command sent?

The reason it took about 10 seconds is because the binding now checks every 5 seconds if it’s time to poll again (default ecobee:granularity=5000), and it will wait no less than 6 seconds after sending a change (ecobee:quickpoll=6000). I made ecobee:granularity 5000ms because I don’t want the binding waking up constantly to check if it’s time to poll, but you could set it to a lower value to get closer to the ecobee:quickpoll value. You could also lower the ecobee:quickpoll value. Setting eit…

I expect your changes will make feedback quicker. Let me know if you see anything unexpected.
